IDENTIFYING PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES


A preposition is a word that comes before a noun or pronoun. That noun or pronoun is called the object of
the preposition. A preposition connects the object to the rest of the sentence. A prepositional phrase consists of
a preposition, its object, and any words that modify the object.

Remember that a preposition is a part of speech that shows a spatial, temporal, or logical relationship between
two things. Some common prepositions include about, after, before, between, during, except, for, from, in, since,
through, until, with, and without.
