What is the noun or pronoun at end of a prepositional phrase called?

The noun or pronoun at the end of a prepositional phrase is called the object of the preposition.

Here's a breakdown:

* Prepositional Phrase: A group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun.

* Preposition: A word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence (e.g., "on", "in", "with", "to", "from").

* Object of the Preposition: The noun or pronoun that follows the preposition and receives the action or relationship indicated by the preposition.

Example:

"The cat sat on the mat."

* Prepositional Phrase: "on the mat"

* Preposition: "on"

* Object of the Preposition: "mat"
