The preposition, the object of the preposition, and everything in between.

The object of the preposition answers the question "(preposition) what?"

For example:

He looked in the box worriedly.

"in the box" is the prepositional phrase because "in" is the preposition, and "box" is the object of the preposition.

"Box" answers the question, "(preposition) what?, or in this case, "In what?"
