Whats the options?
To determine which sentence below uses an adverbial prepositional phrase, we need to understand what an adverbial prepositional phrase is.
An adverbial prepositional phrase is a group of words that starts with a preposition and modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb by providing information about time, place, manner, or reason.
Now let's look at the sentences below and identify the one that contains an adverbial prepositional phrase:
1. I walked to the store quickly.
2. The cat jumped over the fence.
3. She went for a run before breakfast.
In sentence 1, the prepositional phrase "to the store" is used to indicate direction, but it does not directly modify the verb "walked." Therefore, it is not an adverbial prepositional phrase.
In sentence 2, the prepositional phrase "over the fence" modifies the verb "jumped" by indicating where the cat jumped. However, it is not adverbial because it does not provide information about time, place, manner, or reason.
In sentence 3, the prepositional phrase "before breakfast" modifies the verb "went" by indicating when the action happened. This is an example of an adverbial prepositional phrase because it provides information about time.
Therefore, the sentence that uses an adverbial prepositional phrase is sentence 3: "She went for a run before breakfast."
