Which part of a sentence are Prepositional phrases written in?

Prepositional phrases can be written in various parts of a sentence, depending on their function. Here's a breakdown:

Common Positions:

* Adjective Phrase: Modifying a noun or pronoun.

* Example: "The book on the table is mine." (modifies "book")

* Adverb Phrase: Modifying a verb, adjective, or another adverb.

* Example: "He walked down the street." (modifies "walked")

* Example: "The room was incredibly warm." (modifies "warm")

* Appositive Phrase: Providing additional information about a noun or pronoun.

* Example: "My brother, a doctor in New York City, is visiting this week." (identifies "brother")

Less Common Positions:

* Object of the Preposition: This is the noun or pronoun that follows the preposition within the phrase itself.

* Example: "She looked at the picture." ("picture" is the object of the preposition "at")

Important Note: The position of a prepositional phrase within a sentence determines its grammatical function and the word or phrase it modifies.
