Answer 21

Prepositions are directional. They tell where, when, or how something happened. (over, under, before, after, around, throughout, into, etc) the prepositional phrase is what is affected by the preposition.

Ie:
The siren could be heard throughout the town.
"Throughout" is the preposition, and the prepositional phrase is "the town"

Lets do another one:
"He jumped over the fence, and into the creek."
In this example, there are 2 prepositions/prepositional phrases. Te first preposition is "over". Its prepositional phrase is "the fence".
The second preposition is "into". Its phrase is "the creek".
