Answer 1

The correctly formed sentence with a prepositional phrase is: "Luca bought his dog Chopper new toys because Chopper ate all of his old ones," with the phrase 'because Chopper ate all of his old ones' functioning as an adverbial phrase.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct sentence that uses a prepositional phrase properly is: "Luca bought his dog Chopper new toys because Chopper ate all of his old ones." In this sentence, the prepositional phrase is 'because Chopper ate all of his old ones,' which provides a reason for the action stated in the main clause and modifies the verb 'bought.' A prepositional phrase includes a preposition and its object and can function as an adjective or adverb, modifying a noun, verb, phrase, or even an entire clause. As stated in Chapter 12, Lesson 2, prepositional phrases typically provide additional details such as location, time, cause, and manner.

Answer 2

Besides the health benefits, Chopper likes to chew sticks more than furniture.

Example:
In the given statement, "The Caribbean sea is a great location for deep-sea fishing." The phrase "a great location for deep-sea fishing" is the adjective phrase of the sentence.

Phrases are group of words that doesn't have a complete thought unlike clauses that can stand alone since it has a subject and predicate whereas a phrase doesn't.
An adjective phrase is one type of phrase to describe a noun or pronoun subject in a sentence. Also is adverb clause.
