GRS – Types of Prepositional Phrases Adjective Phrases and Adverb Phrases A phrase is a group of words that functions as a single part of speech. A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and must always end with an object. The object is always a noun or a pronoun. Ex. Take your feet off the desk and put them on the floor. Practice. Re-write the following sentences, adding a prepositional phrase to each. 1. We took a class field trip to the museum. 2. We saw several interesting exhibits. 3. Then we ate lunch at the museum café. Adjective phrases are used to modify nouns or pronouns. Adjective phrases answer the following questions: which ones? And what kind? An adjective phrase immediately follows the noun or pronoun it modifies. Ex. I met the woman in the red dress last week. Practice. Copy the following sentences. Underline the adjective phrases and circle the nouns or pronouns they modify. 1. The little girl on the bus waved to her mother. 2. The students in the auditorium waited patiently for the guest speaker. 3. The homework for that class is always so difficult. Adverb phrases are prepositional phrases used to modify verbs, adjectives, or adverbs. Adverb phrases tell how, when, where, how much, and why. Ex. Will you please take me to school? (where) Because you were late, you missed the lesson. (why) Practice: Copy the sentences. Underline the adverb phrase and circle the verb, adjective, or adverb it modifies. 1. I crossed the finish line with great satisfaction. 2. We slept during our flight. 3. I can pass the test with your help.
