If you need to find the verb in a sentence why would you want to find prepositional phases first?

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.

A preposition is a part of speech that starts a prepositional phrase, such as "the man OF THE HOUSE". The preposition would be "of" and the complete phrase would be "of the house".

Betsy is the simple subject in this sentence, and really the complete subject. Learned is the verb, because it is an action and is what Betsy (the subject) did. How is the direct object.

To is the preposition and walk is the object of the preposition in this phrase.

What are nested prepositional phrases?
A second prepositional phrase in a sentence that modifies part of the first prepositional phrase. There can also be a third nested prepositional phrase that modifies part of the second prepositional phrase, and so on. For example: Mary ran (to the end (of the street.)) The first prepositional phrase is "to the end" and the second prepositional phrase is "of the street" where "of the street" modifies "end" so "of the street" is a nested prepositional phrase. I am excited (for the birthday party (for Ashley.)) The first prepositional phrase is "for the birthday party" and the second prepositional phrase is "for Ashley" where "for Ashley" modifies "birthday party" so "for Ashley is a nested prepositional phrase. A non-nested prepositional phrase would be a second prepositional phrase that does not modify part of the first prepositional phrase. For example: Mary ran (to the street) (in the morning.) The first prepositional phrase is "to the street" which modifies "ran." Mary ran to the street. The second prepositional phrase is "in the morning" which also modifies "ran." Mary ran in the morning.

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.
