Sentence: "The cat jumped over the fence and into the garden."
Explanation:
* Compound prepositional phrases contain two or more prepositional phrases joined by a conjunction (usually "and" or "or").
* Prepositional phrase: A group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun (the object of the preposition).
* In this sentence:
* "over the fence" is a prepositional phrase (preposition: "over," object: "fence").
* "into the garden" is another prepositional phrase (preposition: "into," object: "garden").
* These two phrases are joined by the conjunction "and," making it a compound prepositional phrase.
The compound prepositional phrase "over the fence and into the garden" acts as an adverb, telling us where the cat jumped.
