Preposition
A preposition is a word or phrase that explains the relationship between a noun or pronoun and the rest of the sentence. Along with other words, prepositions often tell when

The object of the preposition is a noun or pronoun that comes after the preposition.
Prepositional phrase
A prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with an object of the preposition, a noun or pronoun. Sometimes describing words, like adjectives and adverbs, come between the preposition and its object.
Example:
Robin and his best friend did extra training over the long weekend.
The whole prepositional phrase is "over the long weekend."
The preposition is the word, over, and the object of the preposition is the noun, weekend.
I like the blue jacket with all the sequins better than the other one.
The whole prepositional phrase is "with all the sequins." The preposition is the word, with, and the object of the preposition is the noun, sequins.
