Question

which underlined phrases are prepositional phrases? check all that apply. to be or not to be, that is the question. i drove my car off the road to fix the flat tire. i drove my car off the road to fix the flat tire. we took cover in the basement during the thunderstorm. we strapped on our goggles so we could see the fish under the surface

Explanation:

A prepositional phrase starts with a preposition and ends with a noun, pronoun, or gerund. "To be" in "To be or not to be" is an infinitive, not a prepositional phrase. "Off the road", "in the basement", "on our goggles", and "under the surface" start with prepositions ("off", "in", "on", "under") and end with nouns, making them prepositional phrases. "To fix the flat tire" is an infinitive phrase.

Answer:

• I drove my car off the road to fix the flat tire. (The underlined "off the road" is a prepositional phrase)
• We took cover in the basement during the thunderstorm. (The underlined "in the basement" is a prepositional phrase)
• We strapped on our goggles so we could see the fish under the surface. (The underlined "on our goggles" and "under the surface" are prepositional phrases)
