How do you identify a prepositional phrase in a sentence?
A prepositional phrase is a group of words that starts with a preposition and ends with the object of the preposition (a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase).Let's look at some steps to identifying prepositional phrases.1. To identify a prepositional phrase, you first need to identify the preposition. Prepositions come before the noun or noun phrase to give us more information about the noun. Prepositions connect the noun to the rest of the sentence. A preposition can be a word or a phrase.Here are a few common prepositions:(For a good list of English prepositions with definitions, see the links below.)onbyagainstunderthroughaboveinbetweennext tobehindon top ofduringinside2. Once you have found a preposition in a sentence, you need to keep reading to find the object of the preposition that ends the sentence. It will be a noun or pronoun that comes after the preposition. It may not be directly after the preposition as there may be other words in the phrase.Let's practice identifying the prepositional phrase in this sentence:She waited inside the house.In this sentence, "inside" is the preposition.We continue reading after the preposition to find the object of the preposition."The" is not a noun or pronoun, so it cannot be the object of the preposition.The next word is "house." It is a noun and the object of the preposition "inside."So, the prepositional phrase is "inside the house."We could also have other adjectives in our prepositional phrase.inside the green houseinside our houseinside our big, green houseAll of the above examples are prepositional phrases beginning with the preposition "inside" and ending with the object of the preposition "house."See the links provided for more information about prepositions and prepositional phrases.

Say the sentence aloud and note whether you naturally pause after the word 'field'. If you do, you need a comma. If you don't, you don't need a comma. Personally I would not put a comma (or, 'Personally, I would not put a comma'). If it's your sentence it's your choice (or, 'If it's your sentence, it's your choice').
How do infinitives differ from prepositional phrases in their use in sentence?
Infinitives refer to a verb as a noun (or adjective/adverb): I like to eat. What do you like? (what is the direct object?) To eat. It is being used as a noun. Prepositional phrases use "to" as any other preposition, as a part of a phrase which modifies another part of the sentence: I read to the girl. The phrase "to her" is modifying the verb in this case, read. How did you read? To her. An easier way to tell them apart is an infinitive will have a verb after "to". A prepositional phrase will need to have an object of the preposition, a noun. Therefore, it will have a noun after "to": To eat. verb, therefore an infinitive To the girl. noun, therefore a prepositional phrase
How do i diagram this sentence What I really need from you is some sympathy.?
To diagram the sentence "What I really need from you is some sympathy," start with the main clause: "is some sympathy." The subject is "What I really need from you," which can be broken down further, with "I" as the main subject and "need" as the verb. The phrase "from you" serves as a prepositional phrase modifying "need," while "some sympathy" is the predicate nominative. Overall, the structure highlights the relationship between the subject and the complement.

What is the function of the gerund phrase in the winning contestant diving for hours every day?
"The winning contestant" would be the subject phrase, with the gerund, "winning" functioning as the adjective to describe the contestant. "Diving for hours every day" would be a prepositional phrase, with the gerund, "diving" acting as the object of the prepositional phrase. "Diving" in this case would be the object because it receives the action of the preposition. It's also important to note that this phrase would be a sentence fragment. Although gerunds are often present in verb phrases, they usually need a helping verb with them to act as a verb.
