Prepositions are not in the habit of standing alone. A word group with a preposition at the head followed by an object (or complement) is called a prepositional phrase. The object of a preposition is typically a noun or pronoun: Gus put the horse before the cart. Prepositional phrases add meaning to the nouns and verbs in sentences.
