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)
