A prepositional phrase can function in a sentence as what type of phrase?

A prepositional phrase can function as an adjective or an adverb in a sentence.

* Adjective: It modifies a noun or pronoun, telling us which one, what kind, or how many.

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

* Adverb: It modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb, telling us how, when, where, or to what extent.

* Example: The cat slept under the bed. ("under the bed" modifies "slept")
