How can we identify
Phrases and Clauses?
What is Phrase?
“A phrase is defined as a group of
related words that lacks both subject and
verb.”
A phrase is a part of a sentence. It is a
group of words (within a sentence) that
does not express a complete idea.
Example.
He is standing near a wall.
If a group of words include both subject and verb
then it becomes a clause, so the difference in a
clause and a phrase is that a clause contains subject
and verb but a phrase does not contain subject and
verb.
