Prepositional Phrases

Prepositional phrases are the result of the combination of the prepositions and other elements of the sentence (verbs) {see Prepositional Phrases, A1 Level}.

A prepositional verb is every verb followed by a preposition.

Prepositional phrases consist of a verb and a preposition. They always have an object immediately after the preposition, which acts as a connection between the verb and its object.

Prepositional phrases have this structure:
… + verb + preposition + object + …

The most commonly used prepositions with verbs are: about, at, for, from, in, of, on, with…

Examples of prepositional phrases are: agree with, beg for, believe in, laugh at, listen to, look at, remind of, wait for, worry about…

• She is knocking at the door of the post office.
• They aren´t laughing at me.
• I have to send him a fax. Could you remind me of that later?
