Phrases and Clauses

  PHRASE   A phrase is a group of words  without a finite verb . There are three types of  phrases: -   Noun phrase   A noun phrase is built around a single noun, for example      Example  - A  vase of roses  stood on the table.   Adjective phrase      Example - This chain is made  of gold.   Adverb Phrase   Built around an adverb by adding words before and/or after it.      Example - The economy recovered  very slowly.     (A non-finite verb is a verb form that does not show tense. In other words, you cannot tell if a sentence is in the past tense, present tense, or future tense by looking at a non-finite verb. Therefore, a non-finite verb is never the main verb in a sentence.)     CLAUSES
