Prepositional Phrase or Infi nitive?
![Page 14: Prepositions PR1. Most Common prep. atofflikeI went to the store. tofromthrough inof prep. outintoThe box is on the table. forover byunder onwith 2 Little.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022072010/56649dbe5503460f94ab153e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
infi nitive = to + verb (to jump/to sit)
prep. phrase = to *various words* noun (to the store/to him)

Do not confuse prepositional phrases with infinitives.
