Answer

Here's the breakdown of prepositional phrases in the sentences:<br /><br />**Sentence 1:** "People waited on the platform at the train station."<br /><br />* **On the platform:** "On" is the preposition, and "platform" is the object of the preposition.<br />* **At the train station:** "At" is the preposition, and "train station" is the object of the preposition.<br /><br />"Station" by itself is a noun, not a prepositional phrase. "People waited" is the subject and verb of the sentence. "The simple subject of the sentence is people" is a separate sentence analyzing the first.<br /><br />**Sentence 2:** "The river at the bottom of the hill flows slowly."<br /><br />* **At the bottom:** "At" is the preposition and "bottom" is the object of the preposition.<br />* **Of the hill:** "Of" is the preposition and "hill" is the object of the preposition.<br />
