Prepositional phrases are a set of words including a preposition and its object.
Although the word 'to' is a preposition, there is no prepositional phrase in the sentence, as it is not acting as such. Prepositional phrases do not have verbs, so in this case the phrase 'to see you' cannot be considered a prepositional phrase, as it is an infinitive clause of reason.
’Fast food is now so commonplace that it has acquired an air of inevitability, as though it were somehow unavoidable, a fact of modern life. And yet the dominance of the fast food giants was no more preordained than the march of colonial split-levels, golf courses, and man-made lakes across the deserts of the American West.’’
Yes it should be correct. Let me know!
An alternative way to paraphrase the sentence given is:
<em>"The candidates debated if the current policies were appropriate due to changes in the economy, shifts in the population, and end of war.</em>
In this case, the use of parallel structures helps make the sentence more coherent by using the same grammar patterns. The grammar pattern is <em>noun+prepositional phrase</em>:
- Changes in economy
- Shifts in the population
- End of war
