Book Free DemoA phrase is a group of words that are together as a single unit, as part of a clause or a sentence.
A phrase does not contain a subject and verb and, so it cannot make a complete sentence. A phrase is not like a clause. A clause does contain a subject and a verb, and it can make a complete sentence.
Example:
1. As soon as you got in, he went out.
("As soon as" is a conjunctional phrase.)
("As soon as" is a conjunctional phrase.)
2. Popcorn popping, the dog was ready for the film.
“Popcorn popping” modifies the clause “the dog was ready for the film.”
3. The entire rugby team, their uniforms muddy and stained, shouted in joy.
Noun Phrase: A noun phrase consists of a noun and all its modifiers.
Example:
1. I am tired.
2. The Nizam's house was brightly decorated for the holidays.
(Often a noun phrase is just a noun or a pronoun)
2. The Nizam's house was brightly decorated for the holidays.
("The Nizam's house" noun phrase as a subject.)
Verb phrase: A verb phrase is the part of a sentence that contains both the verb as a direct or indirect object. They serve as a link between the subject of the verb and information about that subject. A verb phrase can be the predicate of a sentence or a clause.

Example:
1. Shalini was walking quickly to the office.
2. Dhanush should wait before going swimming.
3. To make apple pie, you first need an apple.
4. Open the door to let the fresh air in.

Example:
1. Our basketball team won against all the odds.
2. The lion crept over the grass.
3. My shopping list needs to be put into my handbag.
