A prepositional phrase must include a preposition: words such as above, below, for, in, around, etc. Which choice fits that description?

anteater · Answer

Actually, I should say, it begins with a preposition. Examples of prepositional phrases could be: from the factory, behind the door, around nine o'clock, etc.

anteater · Answer

And there is one choice that also begins with a preposition.

In this case, throughout is the preposition. :)  There are a lot of prepositions!

anonymous · Answer

i think it is c

anteater · Answer

Actually, it is D for this one. The preposition "throughout" tells you when it happened during the night. Other similar uses of prepositions would be "around closing time" or "near sunrise".

The key is to look for the preposition in order to identify a prepositional phrase. If you would like, I can see if I can find a list of common prepositions for you?

anteater · Answer

Which one do you think is the prepositional phrase here?

anonymous · Answer

a????

anteater · Answer

"and" is what is called a conjunction. But if you will recall, I said preposition can also indicate ownership or composition, as well as place. In this case, the word "of" is the preposition. So D, "of pancakes", is the answer. As in: I had a breakfast of pancakes.
