Question

Is "the" a preposition??? Thanks. I will give brainiliest answer. Also if so, please answer this "Which sentence uses a prepositional phrase?

A.
Joanna shyly gave the gift.

B.
Joanna bought the gift yesterday.

C.
Joanna wrapped the gift carefully and neatly.

D.
Joanna hid the gift behind the couch."

Answer 1

No, "the" is not a preposition as it does not describe a place in which something is. "The" would be called an article, like "a" or "an".

The answer to your second question, therefore, is D. Joanna hid the gift behind the couch, as "behind" would be the preposition because it describes where the gift is.

I hope this helps!
