What is a example of prepositional phrase in sentence?

Here's an example of a prepositional phrase in a sentence:

The cat sat _on the mat_**.

* Prepositional phrase: _on the mat_

* Preposition: _on_

* Object of the preposition: _the mat_

The prepositional phrase acts as an adverbial phrase in this sentence, modifying the verb "sat" by telling us where the cat sat.

Here are some other examples:

* The book is _under the table_**.

* I went _to the store_ for milk.

* He walked _around the block_**.

* She hid _behind the curtain_**.
