TOPIC: PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES

- A prepositional phrase is a group of words that consists of a preposition and its object

Usually preposition can be found before the object

Example : The genie from the brass lamp granted 3 wishes.

The phrases beginning with prepositions are prepositional phrases.

Example : from the brass lamp

The prepositional phrase may come at the beginning of the sentence.

Example : After the history class, I got a rugby training session.

Prepositional phrase often fill the role of an adverb in the sentence. That is, they add something about the action.

Example : I spread out the map on the table.

Prepositional phrases may also follow nouns, with an adjectival function.

Example : The maps on this wall are very ancient.

Prepositional phrases also come before a noun like an attributive adjective. In this situation they will be hyphenated

Example : We take our holidays in very out-of-the-way places.

Prepositional phrases can also be a complement after a linking verb or complex transitive verb.

TOPIC: VERB PHRASES

VERB

VERB PHRASES

- He was opening the window

A verb phrase typically consists of a main verb + one or more auxiliaries, of which one may be a modal auxiliary.

Example : Was she feeling ill?

There are some well-known idiomatic word groups that combine with a main verb to function like a modal verb. These are not phrases; instead,
we can call them “modal combinations”.

Example : Would you rather go by taxi?

A phrasal verb is a verb + particle.

Example : We ran into problems.

A verb phrase is the main verb and auxiliary verb that make up the whole verb in a sentence.

Example : You might have run into problems.
