An object of the preposition is the noun or pronoun that follows a preposition and completes the prepositional phrase. To identify it, look for the preposition in the sentence and then see what noun or pronoun comes directly after it.
The noun is placed after the preposition:Example: I was dashing to a train.train is the object of the preposition to.
To label a prepositional phrase, you identify the preposition and its object. The preposition typically comes before the object, which is the noun or pronoun that the preposition refers to. This combination of the preposition and its object forms the prepositional phrase.
A prepositional phrase usually starts with a preposition (e.g., in, on, at) and is followed by a noun or pronoun, called the object of the preposition. It provides additional information about the subject or object of a sentence. To identify a prepositional phrase, look for a preposition followed by its object.
In the sentence "Which one of the following words represents an object of a preposition?", "Of the following words" and "Of a preposition" are prepositions. The object of a prepositon in each would be "words" and "prepositions".
It certainly can be. It depends on the sentence.Examples:I gave it to you. ["to" is a preposition; "you" is its object]After you. "After" = preposition; "you" = its object]

No, "week" is not an object of a preposition. It is the object of the preposition if a prepositional phrase includes "week" and a preposition. For example, in the phrase "during the week," "week" is the object of the preposition "during."
The object of the preposition "with" in the sentence is "the gift".
The object of the preposition is the noun that follows the preposition, the word that the preposition relates to another word in the sentence. It can also be a pronoun, gerund, infinitive, or noun phrase. Examples: The car is in the garage. (in is the preposition, and garage is the object of the preposition.) We went to the grocery store for milk. (the grocery store is the first object of a preposition; milk is the second object of a preposition.)
The object of the preposition "for" in the sentence is "lunch." It shows the purpose or destination of the action of going.
A prepositional phrase is a group of words containing a preposition, its object, and any modifiers. To identify a prepositional phrase in a sentence, look for a word that functions as a preposition (e.g., in, on, at) followed by a noun or pronoun (the object of the preposition). The words in between form the prepositional phrase.
There is no object of the preposition in this sentence because there is no preposition.Joe sliced an apple on the table.In this sentence the table is the object of the preposition on.
