A prepositional phrase is a phrase that begins with a preposition; e.g., on the shore; over the top; behind the barn; to the store. In traditional grammar, a "phrase" is a group of words acting as a single part of speech and not containing both a subject and a verb. A phrase and does not express a "complete" thought and is, therefore, one part of a sentence.
