Question

What is the prepositional phrase in this sentence?

Put the lasagna in the oven tonight if you don't mind.

A. Put the lasagna

B. In the oven

C. In the oven tonight

D. If you don't mind

Answer 1

The correct answer is B, 'In the oven'. 'In' is the preposition, because it's referring to position, and 'oven' is the object of the preposition, because the lasagna is going into the oven. The prepositional phrase ends after the object, so answer choice C is incorrect.

Hope this helps!
