Prepositional phrases are versatile and commonly used in both written and spoken English. They provide additional context, detail, or clarification to sentences, making the language more descriptive and expressive.

Like other phrases, prepositional phrases do not contain verbs.

They can be either temporal, locative, or indicate path.

For example: "over the hill" (path?), "at Mary's house" (locative), "from my uncle", etc.
