Prepositions
A preposition (PREP) comes before a noun or pronoun to create a phrase that modifies another word in the sentence. The noun or the pronoun is called the object of the preposition (OP), and the phrase that is created is called a prepositional phrase. Prepositions show relationships between objects and ideas in a sentence.
She spilled the drink on him. [On him is the prepositional phrase]. [PREP] [OP]
