In Romanian grammar, “prepositional phrases” are a fundamental and intriguing aspect. They can modify a noun, verb, or adverb, providing more clarity in sentences. Prepositional phrases always begin with a preposition and include the object of the preposition, usually a noun or pronoun. One can find prepositional phrases in various situations like indicating a location, direction, time, or manner. Changing a preposition in a phrase can lead to varying meaning hence proper use of prepositions is necessary.
