Pengertian Prepositional Phrase
- Preposition biasanya diikuti oleh object. Object of a preposition (objek dari kata depan) tersebut dapat berupa noun (kata benda), pronoun (kata ganti benda), gerund (kata benda jadian), atau noun phrase (frasa kata benda). Gabungan antara preposition dengan object tersebut membentuk prepositional phrase (frasa kata depan).
- Preposition yang digunakan dapat berupa one word preposition (terdiri dari satu kata) maupun complex preposition (gabungan antara kata depan atau dengan part of speech (kelas kata lain)).
- Kelas kata lain tersebut dapat berupa noun, adjective, atau verb. Part of speech tersebut diposisikan sebelum atau diantara dua preposition. Gabungan antara noun dengan kata depan ini membentuk noun phrase (noun+prep.), adjective phrase (adjective+prep.), dan verb phrase (verb+prep.).
