Answer 1

We were traveling to Chicago.

Step-by-step explanation:

To Chicago is your prepositional phrase. A preposition is a word governing, and usually preceding, a noun or pronoun and expressing a relation to another word or element in the clause. A prepositional phrase is a modifying phrase consisting of a preposition and its object. Prepositional phrases can function as either adjective phrases or adverb phrases to modify other words in a sentence.

Answer 2

Prepositional phrase: to Chicago.

Preposition: to

The object it governs: Chicago

Step-by-step explanation:

The prepositional phrase "to Chicago" serves the grammatical purpose of indicating the place where the action suggested by the verb takes the place. So the action is "traveling" and the prepositional phrase indicates where this is happening - "to Chicago". "Chicago" is a noun indicating name of the place and the preposition "to" sits before the noun, so that it can help to indicate the place.
