But I'm still confused
In the given sentences, the prepositional phrase, preposition, and object can be identified as follows:
1. Sentence: "I hung the valuable painting in the library."
Prepositional phrase: "in the library"
Preposition: "in"
Object: "the library"
Explanation:
To identify the prepositional phrase, we need to look for a preposition and its associated object. In this sentence, the preposition "in" introduces the prepositional phrase "in the library." And the object of the preposition is "the library."
2. Sentence: "The eggs inside the nest are not to be distributed."
Prepositional phrase: "inside the nest"
Preposition: "inside"
Object: "the nest"
Explanation:
Similar to the first sentence, we can identify the prepositional phrase by locating the preposition and its object. In this sentence, the preposition "inside" introduces the prepositional phrase "inside the nest," and the object of the preposition is "the nest."
