If you take out the prepositional phrase, the sentence will still make sense. A prepositional phrase contains a preposition, a noun, and usually an article or other adjective. "The little children raced around the playground." If you take out "around the playground", the sentence would still make sense. The word "around" is the preposition and "playground" is the noun that is the object of the preposition. Therefore, "around the playground" is the prepositional phrase in this sentence.

By finding the prepositional phrase/s, you take away "unnecessary" parts of the sentence. Prepositional phrases add to the sentence, but they can be taken out in order to isolate the subject, verb, and direct object (if there is one.) Example: I love to play at the park. Now take out the prepositional phrase. I love to play. What's the verb? Love. I is the subject, and play is the direct object.

The first prepositional phrase is modifying a noun, "cat". It's describing where the cat is. The second is modifying a verb, "is meowing". It's describing HOW the cat is meowing, or what it is meowing at.
