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.
