To identify the prepositional phrases in a sentence, we need to locate prepositions, which are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another element in the sentence. In this sentence, "to" and "with" are the prepositions.
A) "To the county fair" is a prepositional phrase because "to" is the preposition and "the county fair" is the object of the preposition.
D) "With his grandparents" is also a prepositional phrase because "with" is the preposition and "his grandparents" is the object of the preposition.
B) "Manuel went" is not a prepositional phrase. Instead, "Manuel" is the subject of the sentence and "went" is the verb.
C) "The country fair" is not a prepositional phrase either. Rather, it is the object of the preposition "to" in the prepositional phrase "to the county fair."
