Prepositional phrases are used to modify nouns or modify verbs. In either case, they present more details about the noun or the action the verb describes. | |||
They begin with a preposition followed by a noun phrase (see Nouns, Word Order for what can be in a noun phrase). Note that a prepositional phrase can have a noun phrase in it that itself has a prepositional phrase. The noun in the noun phrase has the subject case, though it can be any of the three numbers a noun can be. | |||
Basic prepositions themselves are one to two syllables, ending in a vowel. However, some prepositions are compound words made from a basic preposition and another word. | |||
