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.)
