Select the prepositional phrase. Due to fewer boats During the early morning Locals have their secrets When there are fewer visitors

Question

Select the prepositional phrase.

A) Due to fewer boats

B) During the early morning

C) Locals have their secrets

D) When there are fewer visitors

The prepositional phrase in the above sentences is B) During the early morning

Explanation:

Any word that influences the way a noun or a pronoun is interpreted, and usually comes before, a noun or pronoun, which also creates a relationship between that noun and another is a preposition. An example would be:

The woman in the studio.

IN is the preposition in the above sentence.

It flew out of control

OUT, in this case, is the preposition.

In the case of a prepositional phrase, instead of one word like in the examples above, we have a group of words that serve the purpose of modifying the object.

For example:

Are they really going out with that car?

As see we can see from the example above,  a prepositional phrase must be made up of at least one preposition and the object it is directing or governing.  A noun, a gerund (a verb form ending in “-ing” that acts as a noun), or a clause can all act as the object.

The following are examples of prepositions that can be found in prepositional phrases:

by, behind, during, over, to, of, about, at, before, under, etc.
