Explanation:

A prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun called the object of the preposition. These phrases function as adjectives or adverbs, modifying other words in a sentence.

For example, in the phrase "on the table," "on" is the preposition and "table" is the object of the preposition. This phrase acts as an adjective, modifying a noun like "book" in a sentence like "The book is on the table."
