Preposition

XI. PREPOSITIONAL PHRASES

Nouns, pronouns, and their equivalents become modiand object fiers through a preposition. They limit or qualify another word in some way which the preposition defines. They are called the object of the preposition ; and except in the double possessive construction, they are in the objective case. The preposition with its object forms a prepositional phrase, which is said to be dependent on, or governed by, the modified word.

Prepositions express relations like those expressed by case endings in inflected languages:

Relations Of expresses the possessive and similar relations (genitive),

expressed

A friend of Mr. Jones.

The House of the Seven Gables.

To and for express the indirect objective relation

From expresses separation or source (ablative),

From Jerusalem. From home.

In, at, by, express place (locative),

In town. By the river. At school.

With and by express instrument, agency, process (instrumental),

With my little hatchet. By John Jones, secretary.

At, into, etc., direct objective (accusative), –

To laugh at (ridicule) one.

To break into (enter) a bank.

From their use in the sentence, phrases are:

Adverbial, modifying verbs, adjectives, adverbs, or a clause or sentence;

Substantive, taking the place of a noun;

Independent, having neither grammatical nor logical connection with any part of the sentence.

Kinds

Substitutes for adjective phrase

in the country.

Uses of An adjective phrase may be used in the various constructions in which simple adjectives are used :—

Place of

Attributive or appositive,

My home in heaven (heavenly) is bright and fair.

Predicate nominative, —

He is in good health (healthy).

Predicate objective,

I'll sing him into good humor (good-humored).
Appositive with nominative absolute, -

His mind at ease (quiet), he returned.

The adjective phrase regularly follows the word modified. The preposition regularly precedes the governed word; but if this word is an interrogative or relative pronoun, especially the relative that, the preposition may come at the end of the clause, as it may also in poetry:

What is this a part of?

The apples that he brought a peck of.
