- A group of words that may take the place of a part of speech is called a phrase. A phrase is a group of connected words, not containing a subject and a predicate. In other words, a phrase does not have a subject and verb. (If a group of words had a subject and a verb, it would be a clause.) Phrases can function in the sentence like nouns, adverbs, or adjectives.
Seven common types of phrases are: noun, gerund, infinitive, appositive, participial, prepositional, and absolute.
Examples are given.

Where do you teach?
When talking about phrase types, you mention these 7 in the video, but when reading through your replies, you mention other types. For example: Adjective phrase, Adverbial phrase and verb phrases. May I ask why you chose not to list them as other types? It confusing me. Is it because they fall under some of the other types of phrases? Or was the first list (7 common types pf phrases) not exhaustive? You mention that all phrases function as either Nouns, adverbs, or adjectives and so I am trying to follow that rule to understand some of the other types, but at this point, im really confused. When looking elsewhere , they mention a different number of phrases and include in their examples, some of the above mentioned. Can you clarify?
PS. I usually find your channel very clear, precise and educational and share the videos with people who are struggling. Many thanks :)
Amazing knowledge
Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you so much we appreciate it
You’re welcome, Rachid! Glad to help. 😊
This was helpful thank u
This is very helpful
thanknyou so much for the lesson. one question, does the participial stand as an absolote? or that the participial always starts with V+ING
A participial phrase may begin with a present participle or past participle. Check out this video:
czcams.com/video/AhEI_cQVLyE/video.html
@@thelearningdepot yes that makes sence, but can the participial stand as an absolote tho?
@@sassiaboubakr Yes, a participle can begin a sentence without being a participial phrase. Like in this example: Exhausted, the runner collapsed on the track. In this case, the participle "exhausted" is modifying "the runner" and acting as an adjective. I hope this answers your question.
so, the type phrase of "to study" , infinitive (verbal) or what?
Thank you so much!!! I was in a pinch because tomorrow is our examination thankss!!
You’re welcome! Good luck on your test. 😊
@@thelearningdepot Thank you
"You don't have to be great to start, but you do have to start to be great."
"You have to be good to be lucky and lucky to be good."
Hi. Maybe you can help me understand these two phrases and how they function. Does this type of phrasing have a name? I see these a lot and I am very curious to know if there is a name for this "style" or phrasing. Merci beaucoup! :)
This is a rhetorical device called chiasmus. The parallel phrases are reversed.
Would love to co-author an e-book with you; I am a graphic designer/technical writer! Great videos!!
Maybe one day!
Very helpful thanks 😊❤️🌹
Glad it was helpful! 😊
It revized me for the exam thank u very much
@8:14 you said a phrase never contains a noun and verb. But noun phrases contain nouns and verb phrases contain verbs. Right? Please explain
Thanks for the lesson
You’re very welcome, Esha. 😊
+In the example you give for a prepositional phrase "Josie is inside the store": you state this is acting as a verb complement. Is that because "IS" (the verb to be) is used? It seems to me an argument could be made to call it adverbial since is answers the question where, revealing where Josie is. Unless you would have to say 'Josie went to the store' for it to be adverbial?
Glad you loved the comment. However I am unable to view the response so I cannot see the answer. Could you please provide that? Thanks
Still hoping to get an answer that I can access.
👍
Wow
Thankssss
Thanks for watching!
Please what’s rhe deference between the noun phrase and The appositive phrase ? Thank youu ❤️
A noun phrase simply replaces a noun. An appositive restates or is synonymous with the noun. Thanks for watching! 😊
thanks for the lesson
My pleasure! Glad to help you learn.
Thank you for teaching me
It's my pleasure
This really helped me! Thank you.
You’re welcome. Glad to help you learn! 😊
Is "the Mississippi River" also a noun phrase?
Respected Ma'am could you please explain ,the uses of WHICH and THAT. It confusing me a lot , kindly 🙏 help me
Best info ever
Thank you! 😊
👍👍👍
Your videos are really helping me improve my grammar.
The example used for explaining prepositional phrases "Josie is inside the store"... Is the verb complement acting as an adjective or adverb here?
Thanks again @The Learning Depot.
It's an adverb :)
Your video "Prepositional Phrases as Adjectives and Adverbs" answered my question. Thanks
Is "inside the store" a verb complement and not a subject complement because the phrase is functioning as an adverb? And subject complements can only be a noun or an adjective?
@@T12321 It's functioning as a locative complement of the verb. Great question!
@@thelearningdepot Thanks! That's helpful to know.
Am I correct in understanding that "is" isn't functioning as a "linking verb" here? It is a "intransitive complete action" verb? 🤯
@@T12321 Ahhh, now you're going down a grammar rabbit hole. Some linguists/grammarians would agree with you that in this case "is" is not copular. Some would disagree. However, the prepositional phrase "inside the store" completes "is" which could be considered stative intransitive.
please explain the example provided at 2:00
Excellent
Glad it helped! :-)
Gracias
Thanks for the lesson
What's a predicate?
Any time! A predicate is the part of the sentence that has the verb. In a complete sentence you must have a subject and a predicate. This vid should help you.

I love it.
Glad to hear that! 😊
Good
At 3:03 ''towards the bus" I think it is an adverb phrase (answering Where?)
You could say that it's part of the long verb phrase that includes any completers. Technically, when used alone, it's a prepositional phrase and also an adverbial phrase.
The girl with blue eyes
Type is a noun phrase
Function it describes the feature of the girl
With blue eyes
Prepositional phrase
Function it gives information about the girl having blue eyes
Is this correct?
Great explanation! Thank you 🙇 I have a question: I went swimming yesterday/Is went swimming a verb phrase? Which type is it?
It can be considered a gerund here. In this sentence, there are no stigmata to distinguish this idiomatic use as any one of the uses of Verb-ing words.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Sleeping was for the bold. Sitting upright and staring into the darkness behind the frozen windows, was for the rest of us.
For 2:25 how come “with blue eyes” isn’t an adjective phrase?
Great question. It is. It’s embedded inside the larger noun phrase. I’m going to do a video on embedded phrases.
that was useful
Glad to help! ☺️
please can you explain to me more, because all the type of phrases are contain subject and predicat, noun, and in the end of the vedio you are mentioned that the phrases doesn't contains noun, subject, predicat
Perhaps you're looking at the entire sentence. Phrases do not contain subjects and predicates or they would be clauses. Thanks for watching! 😊
😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
You had a gerund in a sentence that you also used as a participle. You did not make clear how by adding the word it on the gerund side makes a difference 😮
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
In the example, (The baby ate the applesauce with pleasure, cooing and gurgling as she took each spoonful.) why didn't the absolute phrase begin with a noun?
There is a noun in the phrase, but it’s preceded by participles.
the way still didn't understand 💀
vrey good very good
Many many thanks!
Thank you madam ,that was so helpful. Could you please send me the ppt🙏
Hi, the PDF is pinned at the top. Thanks for watching!
I really appreciate that💚
your genuis
I don't understand prepositional phase...😪
Hello I hope you'll be answer my question, so
My neighbour down the street baked me a pie
Is a clause right?
And the Noun phrase is My neighbour, not the whole sentence.
Basically, a phrase can be part of a clause and doesn't convey a complete thought when Alone?
Also it's Participial is a Verb Phrase without actually being a verb? This what consfuses people
Also, when is an adverb compliment needed? I mean what kind of sentences. And what's the function of it?
Sorry I I asked a lot
Also, she is a subject right? And the phrase 'cooing and gurling as she took each spoonful' which is not meant to have a Subject, have a subject.
This is not about your video but in When the cake is brown, the IS is the verb right? Because it's a linking verb.
please i feel so lost. What's the difference between prepositional phrases and adverbial phrases?
A prepositional phrase may be an adverbial phrase if it's modifying an adjective, a verb, or another adverb. If it's telling when, where, how, why, to what extent, an under what condition, then it's functioning as an adverb.
At 3:20 that is heading southbound is an adjective clause. A phrase can be a part of a clause. But I doubt about the opposite. In your example, an adjective clause is a part of the verb phrase.
Yes, that is partly correct. I've removed the section to avoid confusion since the word "that" in this case signals the adjective, or adjectival clause.
@@thelearningdepot I watched another video and it seems you are right and I am wrong.
czcams.com/video/QU1kugfLmjg/video.html at 2:17
he said we can have clauses inside phrases.
Now I am even more confused.
This is the thing, the word "that" can function as different parts of speech, and depending on the context, you CAN have a dependent clause inside of a broader phrase. This is especially true of adjective phrases. In the specific example which I removed from the video: He is running quickly toward the bus that is headed southbound. The verb running is actually followed by a prepositional phrase, toward the bus. And when you add the adjective clause that is headed southbound, it complicates the sentences even further. But in essence, it's all part of the verb phrase.
So in effect, you can pick out phrases within phrases, clauses within phrases, and of course, you have compound-complex sentences that may have two + independent or two + dependent clauses.
Hope this helps.
