Phrases

A phrase is a group of words in a


sentence that does not have a
subject nor a verb.
A phrase cannot express a
complete thought on its own
because it can either lack a subject
or a verb.
Noun Phrase
consists of a noun and other
related words (usually modifiers
and determiners) which modify
the noun. It functions like a noun
in a sentence.
Verb phrase
Is a combination of the main verb
and its auxiliary (helping verb) in
a sentence.
Some examples of helping verbs
are the following: am, is, are, be,
has, have, do, does, may, might,
must, can, shall and will.
