A prepositional phrase is a preposition and the noun following it. The preposition is in the head position and the noun is in the complement position.
Please not that prepositions are words such as in, from, to, etc. Used before a noun or a pronoun to show a place, a position, time or a method.
The object of the prepositional :
Prepositional + noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause.
Prepositional + modifier(s) + noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause.
Example :
At home At = prepositional ; home = noun
In time In = prepositional ; time = noun
From Richie From = prepositional ; Richie = noun
With me With = prepositional ; me = pronoun
By singing By = prepositional ; singing = gerund
About what we need About = prepositional ; what we need = noun clause
Most prepositional phrases are longer, like these:
From my grandmother
From = preposition; my = modifier; grandmother = noun.
Under the warm blanket
Under = preposition; the, warm = modifiers; blanket = noun.
In the weedy, overgrown garden In = preposition; the, weedy, overgrown = modifiers; garden = noun.
