REVIEW: A prepositional phrase is a group of words consisting of a preposition, its object, and any words that modify the object. Most of the time, a prepositional phrase modifies a verb or a noun. These two kinds of prepositional phrases are called adverbial phrases and adjectival phrases, respectively.

DIRECTIONS: READ THE SENTENCE AND CHOOSE THE PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE.

Answer:

e

Step-by-step explanation:

The main clause is He loves to ride on his bike. It is not a phrase. YOu can eliminate b,d

There are two phases here and that makes e the answer.

In the springtime tells when and therefore is an adverb.

on his bike is a phase that completes to ride. It answers what.
