 it is useful to locate prepositional phrases in sentences since any noun or

pronoun within the prepositional phrase must be the prepositions object and, therefore, cannot be misidentified as a verbs direct object.

To the store is a prepositional phrase. Store is the object of the preposition to, not the direct object of the verb drove.

Car is the direct object of the verb drove. To the grocery store is a prepositional phrase.
