What is the prepositional phrase in sentence The cold brook bubbled merrily as it tumbled over smooth gray stones?

The prepositional phrase in the sentence is "over smooth gray stones".

Here's why:

* Prepositional phrases start with a preposition (like "over," "in," "on," "at," etc.) and are followed by a noun or pronoun (the object of the preposition).

* "Over" is the preposition.

* "smooth gray stones" is the object of the preposition.

The prepositional phrase tells us where the brook was tumbling.
