I know the definition of a preposition and a prepositional phrase. I still don't understand the prepositional phrase. Would it be:
Randy was scared to jump (over the fence.)
(over the fence = prepositional phrase???)
You are absolutely right on!!!! Good job.
Yes, you are correct! In the sentence "Randy was scared to jump over the fence," "over the fence" is indeed a prepositional phrase.
A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition (such as "over") and its object (such as "the fence"). In this case, "over" is the preposition and "the fence" is its object. Together, they form the prepositional phrase "over the fence."
Prepositional phrases provide additional information about the action or location described in a sentence. In this specific example, the prepositional phrase "over the fence" tells us where Randy was scared to jump.
