C. Summary

In a sentence, a preposition is almost always followed by
another word in the form of a pronoun or prefix followed by
a noun. For example, in the sentence "I put my pen on the
table", the word on is followed by the determiner "the" and a

noun "table". So, the combination of a prepositional place
followed by a pronoun or determiner and a noun has a name,
