phrase, pronoun phrase, or noun
clause.
9. What is infinitive phrase?

12. What is noun clause?
A noun clause is simply two or more words
that function as a noun. It should have a
subject and a verb, and, since it takes the
place of a noun, it's a dependent clause
and cannot stand alone. A noun clause
starts with the words "that," "how," "if,"
and the "wh-" words - "what," "when,"
"why," etc.
