What is a Phrase?
A phrase, in a sentence, is a group of related words that complement the structure of
sentence.
A phrase is always an important part of a sentence.
A phrase cannot stand alone as it does not contain a subject and a verb.
Hence, a phrase (as alone) does not give a complete idea.
It is used to complement the overall structure of a sentence.
It usually consists of articles, preposition or noun.
o e.g. on a table, at the door, in a box, on the roof.
Examples:
She is standing on the roof.
The cat is sleeping under the table.
She is drawing a map on the wall.
Someone is waiting at the door.
The kid sat beside her mother.
Students are looking at the black-board.
The dog is barking at a stranger.
The girl, in the brown shirt, won the debate.
The students, at the hall, were making a noise.
A phrase is an important part of a sentence. A phrase acts as a noun, an adjective or an
adverb in a sentence.
Hence, a phrase can also be defined as a group of related words (lacking a subject and a
verb) that acts a single part of speech in a sentence.
Read the following examples:
She wrote an interesting story. (as a noun: object)
One of my friends has gone America. (as a noun: subject)
The girl in the white shirt won the competition. (as adjective modifying the noun: girl)
