Phrase level

Hi!

I have a lingustics assignment. I am suppose to Identify the phrases in the sentences below and show /describe their internal structure:

"In the early hours of the morning we were woken by our youngest son."

"They drove very slowly through the streets of the old town."

Can anyone help me?

Hi to both of you and thank you for the replies!

We have been discussing for hours now how to do it, and we started the way you had done it Aspara.
But I see we made a mistake in the first. We thought that it was only one PP and that the rest of the sentence was a complement NP. I`ll sit down and work with it and get back to you! :-)

Thank you !
