Example of Prepositional Phrase

A syntagma It is a group of words that express an idea as a unit. Currently it is preferred to call it a syntactic group instead of a phrase. Phrases are made up of two or more words. Within a phrase or sentence there can be several phrases, each with a specific function: nominal, verbal, adjectival, adverbial, etc. Phrases are made up of a nucleus that defines it and this nucleus can be a noun, a verb, an adjective, among others. Depending on the type of kernel, it will be the type of phrase in question.

One of these types is the prepositional phrase. As their name indicates, they are constructions whose nucleus is a preposition followed by words that are also nominal. That is why many linguists consider prepositional phrases as a type of noun phrase in which prepositions are used. That is, a noun phrase, such as home, by adding a preposition, then forms a prepositional phrase: of the house, for the House, under the house.

The same happens when the complement of the prepositional phrase is a verb phrase: to win, to win.

One of the main uses of the prepositional phrase is to fulfill the function of direct object in the sentence, that is, towards whom the action of the subject is directed:

Adalberto bought a bouquet of flowers in order to his mom.

Prepositional phrases are identified in an expression because they begin with a preposition: a, de, from, to, between, by, in, towards, before, after, under, above, according to, to, with, during, through, among the most used.
