Prepositions are connecting words that act like bridge

A prepositional phrase is a group of words that beings with a preposition and ends with the object of the preposition.

For example, we went fishing with Ben. Now in this example the connecting word (the bridge) is WITH.

Taking the above example:

We went fishing with Ben

Now, here "with" is the preposition and Ben is the object of the preposition.
