What is Prepositional phrases (PP)?

A prepositional phrase is like a little map that tells us where or how something happens.

Imagine you're playing hide and seek in your house. You say, "I'm hiding under the bed." The part "under the bed" is a prepositional phrase, because it shows where you are hiding.

A prepositional phrase always starts with a preposition, like in, on, under, beside, or between. Then, it usually has a noun or pronoun to complete the picture. Together, they show location, time, direction, or relationship.

Think of a prepositional phrase as a helper that adds more meaning to a sentence. For example:

• "The cat is sitting on the windowsill." → On is the preposition, and the windowsill tells us where the cat is.
• "She gave me a big hug." → A big hug shows what she gave.

These helpers can make sentences more fun and full of detail, just like how a map helps you find your way!
