preposition is never alone in a sentence; it is followed by its object(s). From the preposition to the object is the prepositional phrase. Try it:
to the store (store
is the object of the preposition to); before my class (my class is the object of the
preposition before). Page numbers
in parentheses refer to the fourth edition of the text.
