In prepositional phrases, can the subject be more than one word long????? HELP!!!!!

Prepositional phrases don't have subjects.

I meant object.

At the minimum, a prepositional phrase will begin with a preposition and end with a noun, pronoun, gerund or clause, the "object" of the preposition.

The object of the preposition will often have ONE OR MORE modifiers to describe it. Heres a couple examples : "on time" preposition is "on" noun is "time"

Ex2 : From eating too much. Preposition is "from" Gerund is "eating" and the modifier is "too much"

Ex3: Underneath the sagging yellow couch
Preposition is "underneath" Modifier is "the, sagging and yellow and Noun is "couch"

Did this help a little?

A prepositional phrase can have more than one object.

Yes, in some cases, the subject in a prepositional phrase can be more than one word long. Prepositional phrases consist of a preposition (such as "in," "on," or "at") and its object. The object of a preposition can be a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase.

For example, consider the following sentence:

"The book on the table is mine."

In this sentence, the prepositional phrase "on the table" modifies the subject "book." Here, "the table" is a noun phrase serving as the object of the preposition "on." So, in this case, the subject of the sentence is more than one word long.

To identify the subject in a sentence, you can follow these steps:

1. Identify the verb: Look for the action or state of being in the sentence.
2. Ask "Who?" or "What?" before the verb: This will help identify the subject.
3. Consider any additional words or phrases modifying the subject.

Remember, the subject is the noun or pronoun that performs the action or is being described in the sentence.
