Why is it important to recognize prepositional phrases in your study of grammar?

What parts of a sentence can a noun or pronoun function as?
Nouns and pronouns act as the subject, the direct object, or the indirect object of sentences, phrases, and clauses.
If you need to find the verb in a sentence why would you want to find prepositional phases first?
By finding the prepositional phrase/s, you take away "unnecessary" parts of the sentence. Prepositional phrases add to the sentence, but they can be taken out in order to isolate the subject, verb, and direct object (if there is one.) Example: I love to play at the park. Now take out the prepositional phrase. I love to play. What's the verb? Love. I is the subject, and play is the direct object.
How is a phrase made up?
A phrase is made up of a group of words that convey a specific idea, but it does not contain both a subject and a verb to make a complete sentence.

They can function as nouns, adjectives, adverbs, or other parts of speech within a sentence.
