personal experiences.
What two components can you distinguish?
The phrases in colour in the examples are called prepositional phrases.
They have two parts: they begin with a preposition and end with a
noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause.
Prepositional phrases function as adjectives or as adverbs.
As an adjective, the prepositional phrase will answer the question Which one?
Example:
Camila from my class is terrified. (Which Camila?)
As an adverb, a prepositional phrase will answer questions such as How?
When? Where?
Example:
In the meantime, to prevent more damage we should ask people to use
their cars less. (When should we ask people?)
3. Go back to the text and find more examples of prepositional phrases.

Language Note Adverbial phrases

1. Compare these pairs of sentences. What do you notice about


both examples?
a. i. Shout a little more loudly.
ii. Shout loudly.
b. i. If you try a little harder, I'm sure I'll be able to hear you!
ii. If you try harder, I'm sure I'll be able to hear you!
In both sentences ii., the question How...? can be answered by a single
word, which is an adverb: loudly, harder.
In both sentences i., the same question is answered by a group of words
that performs the role of an adverb, the adverbial phrases.
Adverbial phrases provide us with information about manner (how),
time (when), place (where), purpose (what for, why), etc., and they include
other words such as other adverbs, prepositions and infinitives.
Example:
I’ll go to bed in an hour. (When?)
The woman stared at me with an angry expression. (How?)
I wear woolly socks to keep my feet warm. (Why?)
Elephants are found in Africa and India. (Where?)
I like playing football once or twice a week. (How often?)

of adverbial phrases in the text.
