In “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” on the third day that Sir Gawain is at the Lord Bertilak’s castle, Lady Bertilak gives him a silk girdle. Lady Bertilak urges him to keep it with him as it has the ability to protect an honest person from death. Being terrified of his meeting with the Green Knight, Sue Gawain gladly takes it. However, Sir Gawain had promised to give Lord Bertilak anything he was given back to him before he left. This means that Sir Gawain, in not giving the girdle back, is no longer an honest man. In addition to this the girdle is green, this is foreshadowing the fact that the girdle belongs to the Green Knight. The Green Knight, who had not died when Sir Gawain decapitated him in their first encounter, likely did so because he was wearing the girdle. This shows that the Green Knight is an honest man, contrasting him with Sir Gawain who fails to be honest in taking the girdle.

A prepositional phrase contains a preposition and the words that it modifies. The prepositional phrases and their functions in the sentences have been identified as follows:
- (Adjective) The recipe book <em>on the kitchen floor </em>got full of grease.
-
(Adverb) Shaun is still sore<em> from yesterday's practice.</em>
-
(Adverb) <em>Before his exam,</em> Joe sharpened two pencils.
-
(Adjective) The bananas<em> in that basket </em>are ripe.
-
(Adjective) The text message <em>from Ron </em>said he'd be here soon.
-
(Adverb) Feeling adventurous, we went <em>to the new taco place.</em>
When prepositional phrases modify nouns, they act as adjectives but when they modify verbs they function as adverbs. Adverbs tell us when, how, where, and the manner of an action.
Adjectives provide further descriptions of nouns. In sentence 1 for instance, the prepositional phrase modifies the noun, 'book', therefore, it functions as an adjective.
In the second sentence, the prepositional phrase modifies the verb 'sore'. So, following this pattern, the prepositional phrases have been correctly matched.
