Explanation:

• A preposition is a tiny word that usually precedes a noun or pronoun and expresses a relationship to another word in a sentence.

• We can say this relational word or linker word provides information such as what, where, when, and whom in a sentence.

• Some common prepositions include in, at, on, beside, to, between, under, over, within, for, from, up etc.

• The prepositional object or object of the preposition refers to the noun or pronoun that the preposition affects or describes or says about.

• For example, if we say “the apple in the tree,” the word "in" is the preposition and the "tree" is its object.

• The complete prepositional phrase modifies the apple by telling us where it is i.e. the place.

How to Find the Object of a Preposition:

• With the understanding of prepositions and objects, we can easily find them in sentences.

• The object of a preposition is the noun or pronoun that usually comes after the preposition in a sentence.

• For example, I keep my phone on my study table. (object of preposition = study table)

Here, in the given sentences,

• 1. The grapes were just out of reach of the children.

• 2. Heena sang a beautiful song for her parents.

• 3. Going up the boundary wall can be dangerous.​

The objects of a preposition are as follows-

• 1. children. (Preposition "of")

• 2. parents. (Preposition "for")

• 3. boundary wall (Preposition "up")

Therefore, the objects of prepositions would be the following:  

1. the children.

2. her parents.

3. the boundary wall
