A preposition is a word placed before a noun or pronoun to form a phrase relating to another word in the sentence. A preposition with its object forms a prepositional phrase.
Examples of prepositions: for, with, in, to, between, etc.
Example of prepositional phrases:
A prepositional phrase that modifies a noun or pronoun is an adjective prepositional phrase. An adjective prepositional phrase almost always follows the noun/pronoun it modifies.
This is a sentence (or clause), not a phrase. The adjective is dumb, and the adverb is very, modifying dumb. So "very dumb" is the adjective phrase.
That I am is a phrase, the individual words in the phrase are parts of speech. That -- demonstrative, determiner I -- pronoun am -- be verb
"that give advice" because the phrase is modifying the noun "sayings" (which is what I believe you meant to say).
A pronoun takes the place of a noun in a sentence. Example:"When George got to 19th Street, he got off the train." The pronoun 'he' takes the place of the noun 'George' in the second part of the sentence."We can go to the mall this afternoon." The pronoun 'we' takes the place of our names which are nouns.

A word placed in front of a noun or a pronoun to form a phrase modifying another word in the sentence is called an adjective. Adjectives describe or modify nouns or pronouns by providing more information about their qualities or characteristics.
A participial phrase functions in a sentence as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun. It provides more information about the noun or pronoun it is describing.
"Interested in" is a prepositional phrase typically used to indicate a preference or desire for something. It functions as an adjectival phrase modifying a noun or pronoun in a sentence.
appositive
A participial phrase typically functions as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun in a sentence. It provides additional information about the noun or pronoun. Look for the noun or pronoun that the participial phrase is describing to determine its function in the sentence.
An appositive phrase is a noun or pronoun that renames or identifies another noun or pronoun that comes right before it in a sentence. It provides additional information about the noun or pronoun. For example, in the sentence "My friend, a talented artist, painted a beautiful portrait," "a talented artist" is the appositive phrase renaming "my friend."
As a child is the object phrase modifying piano you is the pronoun subject practiced is the verb piano is the direct object.
An antecedent phrase is a phrase that comes before a pronoun and gives context to what the pronoun refers to. It helps avoid confusion by clarifying the reference of the pronoun in a sentence.
an adjective (if it modifies a noun) or an averb (if it modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb).
