Phrases, Clauses, and Sentence

Phrases - A small group of words forming a

meaningful unit within a clause is called a
phrase. They don’t contain a subject or a verb.
Phrases can be classified into five groups:

1. A Noun Phrase
A noun phrase is a group of words in a sentence
that acts like a noun.

For example:
Have you seen the man in black.

2. A Verb Phrase
A verb phrase is a combination of a verb and a
particle.

For example:
 I have been living in Los Angeles since I was
born.

3. An Adjective Phrase
An adjective phrase is a prepositional phrase
which is used as an adjective.

For Example:
My neighbor has a very interesting job.

4. An Adverbial Phrase
An adverbial phrase is a phrase with two or more
words that act adverbially.

For example:
You have to hand in your assignment 
as fast as possible.

5. A Prepositional Phrase
A prepositional phrase is a group of words that
begins with a preposition and is followed by a
noun or a pronoun.

For example:
I parked my car under the bridge.

Clauses

• A clause is made up of a subject and a

verb.
• Clauses can be classified into two main
groups:

Main Clause (Independent Clause)

 • It can stand alone as a sentence.
For example: I like pizza

Subordinate Clause (dependent Clause)

• It cannot express a complete thought. In
other words, it can’t stand alone.
For example: When I saw him.
(incomplete)

Sentence
A complete sentence contains a subject and a
verb, and it can be made up of more than one
clause.

For example: I ate some strawberry.
