Explanation:
1.At the minimum, a prepositional phrase will begin with a preposition and end with a noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause, the "object" of the preposition. At = preposition; home = noun. In = preposition; time = noun.
2.A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition and its object. An adverbial phrase consists of the words that functions as an adverb; it modifies an adjective, a verb and an adverb. The sentence that uses a prepositional phrase as an adverbial phrase is: The questionnaire from the college took three days to complete.
3.The preposition is WITH. Prepositional phrases tend to end with a noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause, the "object" of the preposition.In this case it ends with HAT, a noun. In this case it functions as an adjective as it is describing the subject of the sentence; "the MAN."
4.Prepositional phrases can function as either adjective phrases or adverb phrases to modify other words in a sentence. Common prepositional phrase examples include about, after, at, before, behind, by, during, for, from, in, of, over, past, to, under, up, and with.
5.The last thing we'll be looking at today is adjectival phrases. These are a group of words that describe the noun in the sentence. The adjectival phrase can come before or after the subject of the sentence. The adjective in the sentence can be at the beginning, middle, or end of the phrase.
