"In the closet" makes up the prepositional phrase.

Carl · Answer 2

"I" is the subject, "put" and "shut" are the actions, and "my new purple tennis shoes" and "the door" are the objects. "In the closet" tells where shoes were put, which is what an adverbial preposition does, so those words make up the prepositional phrase.
