prepositional phrase can funtion as adjective or adverb.
for example, as the dog's owner, John was required to report the incident. here the phrase identifies John as the owner and functions as an adjective.
for example, Alan ran into the wood. the phrase modifies the verb " ran " and funtions as an adverb.
