A preposition relates a noun, pronoun, or phrase to another word in the sentence.
Examples:
Jack had to run for the bus. (the preposition 'for' relates the noun phrase 'the bus' to the verb 'to run')
I took a picture of the bear. (the preposition 'of' relates the noun phrase 'the bear' to the noun 'picture')
A preposition begins a prepositional phrase. It connects a noun or pronoun to the rest of the sentence and shows the relationship between that noun or pronoun and another element in the sentence. Examples of prepositions include "in," "on," "at," "by," and "with."
An appositive phrase is a noun or pronoun that renames or identifies another noun or pronoun that comes right before it in a sentence. It provides additional information about the noun or pronoun. For example, in the sentence "My friend, a talented artist, painted a beautiful portrait," "a talented artist" is the appositive phrase renaming "my friend."
Generally, the last word of a prepositional phrase is the "object of the preposition."
The pronoun for 'her glasses' is 'they' as a subject, 'them' as the object of a sentence or phrase. Example sentence: Margaret can't find her glasses. They are not in her purse and she doesn't know where she put them.
A noun or noun phrase that is replaced by a pronoun later in the sentence is called an antecedent. The pronoun refers back to the antecedent to avoid repetition and maintain clarity in the sentence.
"The ant colony's" is not a sentence, it's a noun phrase. There is no possessive pronoun in this noun phrase. There is no pronoun in this noun phrase.

A participial phrase functions in a sentence as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun. It provides more information about the noun or pronoun it is describing.
An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun or pronoun just before it.The appositive in the sentence is Bob Huylett, which renames the noun 'author'.
