Question

What is the prepositional phrase in the sentence? My best friend lives down the street

A. My best friend
B. Lives down the street
C. down the street
D. my best friend lives

Answer 1

A prepositional phrase refers to the phrase which begins with a preposition and ends with the 'objects' of the prepositions that are nouns, gerund, clause or pronoun.

The pattern of the prepositional phrase follows by the object of the preposition having one or more modifiers.

Therefore, in the above sentence, the prepositional phrase is C. down the street.

'down' is a preposition followed by the modifier 'the street' as a noun.
