๐ Topic Summary
Prepositional phrases are groups of words that begin with a preposition (like in, on, at, under, over, by, with, from) and end with a noun or pronoun, which is called the object of the preposition. These phrases act like adjectives or adverbs, adding detail to your sentences by telling you where, when, how, or why something is happening. Think of them as little clues that make your writing more interesting and descriptive!
