Prepositional Phrases A preposition connects a noun or pronoun to another word in the sentence, showing the relationship between them. Prepositions usually answer the questions where? or when?, telling about a person or object’s location in either time or space. The preposition usually introduces a phrase that has several parts: the preposition itself, an article (like a, an, or the), and a noun which is called the object of the preposition. Sometimes, there may be a possessive noun or pronoun, like her, their, our, or Steven’s, instead of the article. There may also be adverbs or adjectives mixed in. The boy walked the dog down the busy street. The prepositional phrase down the busy street tells where they walked. The word down is the preposition. The word the is an article. The word busy is an adjective describing the street. The word street is the object of the preposition.
