Question

Which words make up the prepositional phrase in this sentence?

Kim or Mai, please make the potato salad for the Fourth of July picnic.
a. the potato salad
b. for the Fourth of July picnic
c. Kim or Mai
d. please make

Answer 1

let's find the preposition here: it's the word "for".

So the prepositional phrase is the phrase that contains it and is headed by it, here it's b. for the Fourth of July picnic - this is the correct answer. It's also an adverbial phrase in terms of its function as it answers the question "what for"
