Explanation:

A prepositional phrase has typically some essential features that make it easier to identify it when used in a sentence. The sentence with this phrase begins with a preposition, and the last part has a noun, gerund or a pronoun. The vital aim of this is to function as a unified speech because such sentences do not have a verb.

Therefore the purpose of a proposition is to create a mutual agreement in the noun or the pronoun with other words in a sentence.
