A prepositional phrase that modifies a verb is?

A prepositional phrase that modifies a verb is called an adverbial phrase.

Here's why:

* Prepositional Phrases: These consist of a preposition (like "on", "in", "with", "to", "from", etc.) followed by a noun or pronoun (the object of the preposition).

* Adverbial Phrases: These modify verbs (or adjectives or adverbs), providing information about how, when, where, or to what extent an action is performed.

Example:

* The cat sat on the mat.

Here, "on the mat" is a prepositional phrase. It modifies the verb "sat" by telling us where the cat sat. Since it modifies the verb, it acts as an adverbial phrase.
