etc.)
2. A phrase is a string words ( one or more) that functions as
a unit in a sentence. A phrase is built up around a single
word, called its head.
3. In a language, there is a set of specific ways in which
phrases can be combined with one another to construct
bigger phrases and sentences. These are called phrase
structure rules of the language
4. The way in which phrases are combined in
a sentence determines its prhase structure.

before the NP. Examine these sentences.

2. I like to jog and swim. (conjoined VPs)
Nanamian ako mag dalagan kag maglangoy.
