A prepositional phrase (S Prep) is all that phrase introduced by a preposition or prepositional phrase. In this type of phrase, the preposition performs the function of the syntactic nucleus, regardless of the fact that just behind the preposition there is a noun phrase. For example, "textbook" is a noun phrase, whose nucleus is "book" and within which we find a Prepositional phrase "of text", which is introduced by the preposition "of", followed by the noun phrase "text". In this lesson from a TEACHER we will study the sentences with prepositional phrase with different examples so you can understand this grammatical concept.

As we have said before, a prepositional phrase is a phrase that begins with a preposition or phrase prepositional, which is generally followed by a noun phrase and, on some occasions, an adjectival phrase as well. Let us remember that a preposition is a type of invariable word that serves to introduce phrases or sentences that perform a syntactic function within the sentence.

For this reason it is very important to previously know all the prepositions that currently exist in Spanish. The different prepositions that we can find in the prepositional phrases are the following: To, before, under, with, against, of, from, in, between, towards, until, during, through, for, by, pro, according to, without, so, on, after, versus, via.
