The easiest way to identify and differentiate between an adjective phrase and adverbial phrase is:
Whenever<u>,</u> A preposition is with a noun or pronoun or has relation to such that it modifies the noun and pronoun It is an **adjective phrase.**
For example: He stood between his mother and his father.
Here the underlined word is an adjective phrase as it has a relation to the subject (He) and modifying him
All the other prepositional phrases are adverbial phrase
As they modify the verb, an adverb or an adjective.
For example: Draw a line under each word you don't know.
Here underlined word is adverbial phrase (as there is no relation between the underlined word and the subject)
an adjective phrase acts like an adjective and modifies the noun or pronoun in the sentence. an adverb phrase acts like an adverb and modifies the verb, adjective, or adverb in the sentence.
If the phrase describes (modifies) a noun or pronoun, it's an adjective phrase. If the phrase describes a verb, adjective, or adverb, it's an adverb phrase.
