Preposition before preposition phrase??
In English grammar, we learned that after a preposition, there is a noun. However, almost every native speaker would not deny the fact that
"He rose from under the bed."
this sentence sounds correct with no mistake concerning grammar. (right?) Then is there any explanation for this sentence?
In other words, is this sentence merely an unusual exception, or is there a possible rule to such a happening?
