  2. For number 5 the sentence actually reads-The girl looked behind the door for her friend.
    Would I just underline looked behind door? You somewhat confused me when you put plus one more.

  6. Ok. That one I would not have caught. They threw a trick one in there.

    My question from the website Grammar Bytes is in the box where they have the list of prepositional phrases is that what you always look at to determine the entire prepositional phrase?

  8. No. I, for one, do not have to look up each phrase to find a prepositional phrase. I can recognize a preposition. If you know what a preposition does, you should be able to do the same. here are two sites that will help you understand the function of a preposition and the prepositional phrase:
