Answer: Prepositional phrase

Explanation: Prepositional phrases always start with a preposition and always end with a noun or a pronoun called the object of the preposition.

Let's look at an example.

A vase of flowers fell on the floor.

We have two prepositional phrases in this sentence. "Of flowers" would be one because "of" is a preposition and "flowers" is the object.

"On the floor" would be another prepositional phrase because "on" is a preposition and "floor" is the noun that it works with.
