  • 1.
  • ' 2.
  • ' 3.
  • Prepositional phrase - no , not really: in 'I looked at his girlfriend', '(his) girlfriend' is considered the direct object, with the particular verb requiring the preposition (a phrasal verb).
  • A real prepositional phase is better considered a verb complement: 'I stood on my head'.
