What is the prepositional clause?

A prepositional phrase is not a clause. It's a phrase, which means it lacks a subject and a verb.

Here's the breakdown:

* Clause: A group of words that contains a subject and a verb. It can be a complete sentence or part of a larger sentence.

* Prepositional phrase: A group of words that starts with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun (the object of the preposition). It modifies a noun or verb in the sentence, telling us where, when, why, or how something happens.

Example:

* Sentence: The cat sat on the table.

* Prepositional phrase: on the table (Preposition: "on", Object: "table")

Common prepositions:

* About

* Above

* Across

* After

* Against

* Along

* Among

* Around

* At

* Before

* Behind

* Below

* Beneath

* Beside

* Between
