An adjectival phrase, also known as an adjective phrase, is a phrase which modifies or describes a noun or pronoun and which can be usually used both attributively and predicatively.
It could be either an adjectival phrase or an adverbial phrase, depending on whether the phrase modifies a noun or a verb. Lets start with a simple sentence: "The boy threw the ball." That doesn't tell us very much. It doesn't tell us which boy threw the ball or where he threw it. So now let's add the phrase "in the classroom." Let's say, for example, "The boy in the classroom threw the ball." Here the phrase modifies the noun 'boy.' It tells us which boy, and is therefore an adjectival phrase. But, "The boy threw the ball in the classroom," is different because the phrase modifies the verb 'threw' by telling us where the ball was thrown. Therefore it is an adverbial phrase.

An adjectival phrase is a group of words that function as an adjective in a sentence, providing more information about a noun or pronoun. It typically consists of an adjective (or more than one) and any modifiers that come before or after it. Example: "very happy with her new job."
noun phrase, adverbial phrase, adjectival phrase
"What" can be used as an adjectival when it is used to describe a noun or pronoun. For example, in the phrase "What time is it?", "what" is describing the noun "time."
"In the hand" is a prepositional phrase ("in" being a preposition and "hand" being the object of the preposition.)
A prepositional phrase is adjectival if it describes a noun or pronoun by answering questions such as "which one" or "what kind." It is adverbial if it modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb by answering questions such as "where," "when," or "how."
The two types of prepositional phrases are adverbial phrases, which modify verbs, adjectives, or adverbs by providing information about time, place, or manner, and adjectival phrases, which modify nouns by providing additional descriptive information.
Ali is a boy of remarkable intelligence.
A prepositional phrase can function in a sentence as an adjectival or adverbial phrase, providing additional information about a noun or verb, respectively.
