Hi everyone

I have a question , what the difference between an prepositional arrangement And an introductory phrase ?

In my book there is a question it says : a little further down the beach is an example of prepositional arrangement or introductory phrase ?

" I suppose they mean a phrase that includes a preposition and its complement. An introductory phrase (or clause) comes at the beginning of a sentence. It can be a clause, reduced clause, or prepositional phrase.

I have never heard the term "prepositional arrangement." I suppose they mean a phrase that includes a preposition and its complement.

An introductory phrase (or clause) comes at the beginning of a sentence. It can be a clause, reduced clause, or prepositional phrase.
