A prepositional phrase is a group of words that starts with a preposition and ends with the object of the preposition (a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase).Let's look at some steps to identifying prepositional phrases.1. To identify a prepositional phrase, you first need to identify the preposition. Prepositions come before the noun or noun phrase to give us more information about the noun. Prepositions connect the noun to the rest of the sentence. A preposition can be a word or a phrase.Here are a few common prepositions:(For a good list of English prepositions with definitions, see the links below.)onbyagainstunderthroughaboveinbetweennext tobehindon top ofduringinside2.

It may not be directly after the preposition as there may be other words in the phrase.Let's practice identifying the prepositional phrase in this sentence:She waited inside the house.In this sentence, "inside" is the preposition.We continue reading after the preposition to find the object of the preposition."The" is not a noun or pronoun, so it cannot be the object of the preposition.The next word is "house."
