typically consists of a noun (or pronoun) and any modifiers, determiners, or
complements that accompany it. Noun phrases can serve as subjects, objects, or
complements in a sentence.
For example:

function in the sentence is described. Remember that a noun phrase can
contain additional words such as articles (a, an, the), adjectives, possessives,
prepositions, or other modifiers to provide more detail or context.
ADVERB PHRASE
 An adverb phrase is a group of words that function as an adverb in a sentence.
Like an adverb, it modifies or adds more information to a verb, adjective, or
another adverb. Adverb phrases can be formed in different ways. They can
consist of a single adverb, such as "often" or "never," or they can include
multiple words such as prepositions, articles, or adjectives.Here are some
examples of adverb phrases :
 She walked to the store slowly.In this sentence, "slowly" is an adverb that
modifies the verb "walked." The adverb phrase is "to the store slowly," which
includes the prepositional phrase "to the store.
 He ate the sandwich with great pleasure. In this sentence, "with great pleasure"
is an adverb phrase that modifies the verb "ate." It includes the preposition
"with" and the noun phrase "great pleasure.
 Adverb phrases can add detail and shade to a sentence, and they can be used to
convey a wide range of meanings and emotions.
 "The dog barked at the mailman ferociously.In this sentence, "ferociously" is an
adverb that modifies the verb "barked." The adverb phrase is "at the mailman
ferociously," which includes the prepositional phrase "at the mailman.
PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE
 A prepositional phrase is a group of words that begins with a preposition and
ends with a noun or pronoun. The preposition shows the relationship between
its object and other elements in the sentence .
 For example :
 In the sentence "The book is on the table," the prepositional phrase is "on the
table," which begins with the preposition "on" and ends with the noun "table."
The preposition "on" shows the relationship between the book and the table.
1.In the morning
2.Under the table
3.By the river
4.On top of the world
5.With a smile
6.Without any hesitation
7.At the park
8.From my perspective
9.To the store
10.Across the street
CLAUSE FRAGMENTATION
 A clause fragment is a group of words that resembles a clause in structure but
does not form a complete sentence on its own.
 A clause fragment may be missing a subject, a predicate, or both, or it may not
have a clear relationship to the rest of the sentence. For example, "Because he
was tired" is a clause fragment because it contains a subordinate conjunction
("because") and a subject ("he"), but it lacks a predicate and cannot stand alone
as a complete sentence.
CLAUSE FRAGMENTATION
 "After the movie ended." (This lacks a subject and a verb. It is a dependent
clause without an independent clause.)
 "Because she was tired and hungry." (This lacks a main verb. It is a dependent
clause without an independent clause.)
 "Running down the street." (This lacks a subject and a verb. It is a phrase rather
than a complete clause.)
 "Without any hesitation." (This lacks a subject and a verb. It is a phrase rather
than a complete clause.)
CLAUSE FRAGMENTATION
 "In the middle of the room, where the light was brightest." (This
lacks a main verb. It is a dependent clause without an independent
clause.)
To correct these fragments, you would need to add a subject, a verb, or
both, and connect them to an independent clause to form a complete
sentence.
NOUN CLAUSE
 A noun clause is a type of subordinate clause that functions as a noun within a
sentence. It typically begins with a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun
and answers questions like "what?" or "who?“. For example:
 I don't know [what he wants].
 [Whoever arrives first] will get a prize.
 [That she loves him]
 Is obvious to everyone. In these sentences, the noun clauses are in brackets and act
as the subject, object, or predicate nominative of the sentence. Noun clauses can
also function as indirect objects, objects of prepositions, and appositives.
ADJECTIVE CLAUSE
 An adjective clause, also known as a relative clause, is a type of dependent clause
that functions as an adjective within a sentence. It typically begins with a relative
pronoun (such as "who," "whom," "whose," "which," or "that") or a relative adverb
(such as "when," "where," or "why") and provides additional information about a
noun or pronoun in the main clause.
 EXAPMLES are as follows :
 The woman [who lives next door] is a doctor.
 The book [that I am reading] is very interesting.
 The restaurant [where we had dinner] was very expensive.
 In these sentences, the adjective clauses are in brackets and modify the nouns
"woman," "book," and "restaurant," respectively. Adjective clauses can provide
information about a noun's identity, characteristics, or location, and they can be
essential (restrictive) or nonessential (nonrestrictive) to the sentence's meaning.
Essential adjective clauses are not set off by commas, while nonessential
adjective clauses are set off by commas.
RELATIVE CLAUSE
 A relative clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun or pronoun, providing
additional information about it. It is called a "relative" clause because it relates to
the noun or pronoun that it modifies. A relative clause typically begins with a
relative pronoun, such as "who," "whom," "whose," "which," or "that," and
functions as an adjective in the sentence. The relative pronoun serves as the subject
or object of the verb in the relative clause.
 A relative clause typically begins with a relative pronoun, such as "who," "whom,"
"whose," "which," or "that," and functions as an adjective in the sentence. The
relative pronoun serves as the subject or object of the verb in the relative clause.
 EXAMPLES :
 The man who is wearing a hat is my uncle.
 The book that I borrowed from the library is overdue
 My friend, who is a doctor, recommended this book
ADVERB CLAUSE
 Adverb clauses are subordinate clauses that function as adverbs in a sentence.
They modify or describe the verb in the main clause and provide additional
information about the time, place, manner, condition, or reason of the action in
the main clause .
 An adverb clause begins with a subordinating conjunction such as "after,"
"although," "because," "if," "since," "unless," "until, "when," "where," or
"while."
 For example:
 After I finish my work, I'll go to the gym.
 (The adverb clause "After I finish my work" modifies the verb "go.")
 Although it was raining, we still went for a walk.
 (The adverb clause "Although it was raining" modifies the verb "went.")
 Because she was tired, she went to bed early.
 (The adverb clause "Because she was tired" modifies the verb "went.")
ADVERB CLAUSE AND IT’S TYPES
 Adverb clauses are dependent clauses that function as adverbs, modifying the
main verb of the sentence. There are several types of adverb clauses, including:
 Time adverb clauses: These clauses express when or for how long something
happens. Example: "After I finish my homework, I will watch TV.
 "Place adverb clauses: These clauses express where something happens.
Example: "Wherever you go, I will follow.
 "Manner adverb clauses: These clauses express how something is done.
Example: "She sings as if she were an angel."
 Reason adverb clauses: These clauses express why something happens.
Example: "Since it's raining, we should stay indoors.
 "Condition adverb clauses: These clauses express a condition under which
something happens. Example: "If I have time, I will go to the gym.

something is done. Example: "I am studying hard so that I can get a good grade."
