Hi there,
I sometimes have difficulty in determining which part of the sentence a prepositional phrase modifies.
For example:
1.) I called the man from Hong Kong. <-- Is the pp "from Hong Kong" modifying the object "man" or the verb "called"?
2.) A man of the people from the United States. <-- Is the pp "from the United States" modifying the object of the preposition "people" or the subject "man"?
Thanks!
