A prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase (this noun, pronoun, or noun phrase is the object of the preposition).

介词短语是以介词开头，以名词、代词或名词短语结尾的一组单词(这个名词、代词或名词短语是介词的宾语)。

Prepositional phrases modify or describe nouns, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, and verbs. They say something about the relationship between their object and the word they describe/modify. Prepositional phrases can tell us when [time] or where [location] something is or something happened. They can tell us the direction something is or is moving/going. They can tell us something about the word or words they describe.
