No, sorry, but that is incorrect. A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition, and ends with a noun. You have none of those. A correct way to phrae that would have been to say, "about all animals have a hand". That is what I cal a prepositional phrase!

To use "around" as an adverb, just make sure that it is not being used in a prepositional phrase. Adverb Example: I have been walking around. In the above example, "around" is not in a prepositional phrase. It is simply a word standing alone. Preposition Example: I have been walking around the house. In this example, "around" is in a prepositional phrase, so it is being used as a preposition.

no. who would think of that word? It is three words, a prepositional phrase, but it is has long been a legitimate term to describe biological oddities.
Let's work this out together:The world has seen many wars, but the two world wars in the twentieth century have been particularly devastating.Now, break it down: You have two clauses here joined by a conjunction. (1) The world has seen many wars... (2) ...the two wars in the twentieth century have been particularly devastating. And, the conjunction "but." (I added the comma above for grammatical accuracy.)There is no prepositional phrase in the first clause; you have a simple subject, predicate, object construction.The second clause contains the prepositional phrase. Easiest way to find it is to identify the part of speech of each word:There are eleven:thetwowarsinthetwentiethcenturyhavebeenparticularlydevastatingThere are two definite articles, both "the." So cross off #'s 1 and 5. Number 2, "two," is an adjective here modifying the noun after it "wars," so check off #'s 2 and 3. Number 4, "in" is a preposition...Oh! there's your first hint: prepositional phrases begin with a preposition. A prepositional phrase is a phrase consisting of a preposition, its object, which is usually a noun or a pronoun, and any modifiers of the object. So, we need to look for those components. Typically, the prepositional phrase follows immediately after the preposition. Here we have "in the twentieth century. We know that "in" is the preposition, "the twentieth century" then becomes the object, "the" and "twentieth' modifying "century."Let's keep looking though: "have," modal verb; "been," past tense verb, form of to be; "particularly," adjective, modifies "devastating;" "devastating," adjective, modifies "wars."So, there you have it. The prepositional phrase and a way to find it.
No, "bus to school" is not a verb phrase; it is a noun phrase with "bus" as the noun and "to school" functioning as a prepositional phrase that indicates the destination. A verb phrase typically consists of a main verb along with its auxiliaries or modifiers, such as "is going" or "has been running." In this case, the action of the bus is not expressed within the phrase itself.
