I'm tad confused the use of prepositional phrase and adverb phrase.
For example: In the year Mary Anna, although she was suffering from cancer, wrote a book of poetry.
What should the type of phrase 'In the year' be? It looks like a prepositional phrase since there is 'in' in that phrase, but it functions like an adverb as it modifies the actions of writing the book.
Any idea? My idea could be wrong, sorry if it confused you.
