Yes, it can. Here's an example: The box on top was the one he wanted. In this sentence, it is "on top" that is the propositional phrase, and "on" is the preposition.

What is the difference between a prepositional phrase and a subordinate clause?

A clause contains a subject and a verb. A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and has a noun which is the phrase's object of the prepositionPhrase: I will do my homework after dinnerClause: I will do my homework after I have dinner.the clause contains the verb "have". In this example it is a subordinate clause because it cannot be used as a sentence on its own. However because it contains a subject and a verb, some clauses called independent clauses can stand on their own.Independent Clause: I will be there at 7 pm, but don't wait for me.The bolded clause can stand on its own because it contains a subject and a verb. if you removed "but don't wait for me" you would have a simple sentence: I will be there at 7 pm.Basically a clause can be a complete thought, and contains a subject and a verb. A phrase does not contain a subject and a verb. It only contains a preposition and a noun which is the object of the preposition.

What is the object pronouns in this sentence Will you and he be flying to Portugal with her and she?

The object pronouns used in the sentence are her and you. The pronoun you can be a subject or object pronoun. The pronoun she is a subject only pronoun and can't be used as the object of the preposition 'with'. To be correct, the prepositional phrase is '...with her and her', but I don't recommend it. A better way to word the prepositional phrase is:Will you and he be flying to Portugal with them.
