  3. Return to Menu Prepositional Phases • A prepositional phrase begins with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun. (That noun or pronoun is called the Object of the Preposition). • Example: • with my grandfather • (with = preposition) • (grandfather = Object of the preposition) • (with my grandfather = prepositional phrase) noun
