Question

In a sense, the French were the originators of airmail service.

Find the prepositional phrase.

Answer 1

"In a sense" AND "of airmail service." A prepositional phrase is identifiable in a couple of ways. First of all, consider the definition of a "phrase." A phrase is a group of words unable to stand along as a sentence. It is generally lacking a subject or verb.

Prepositional phrases modify or give extra information about something in the sentence. "In a sense" provides more information to the word "were," and "of airmail service provides more detail to "originators."

Answer 2
