A preposition is usually used with a noun phrase as its complement. A preposition together with its complement is called a prepositional phrase. Examples are "in England", "under the table", "after six pleasant weeks", "between the land and the sea". A prepositional phrase can be used as a complement or post-modifier of a noun in a noun phrase, as in "the man in the car", "the start of the fight"; as a complement of a verb or adjective, as in "deal with the problem", "proud of oneself"; or generally as an adverb phrase (see above).
