Here's a breakdown:
* Preposition: A word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. Common prepositions include "on," "in," "at," "to," "from," "with," "by," "for," "about," "around," "through," "during," "before," "after," etc.
* Object of the Preposition: The noun or pronoun that follows the preposition and receives its action.
Example:
* "The cat sat on the mat."
In this example:
* "on" is the preposition.
* "the mat" is the object of the preposition.
Therefore, the prepositional phrase is "on the mat".
