 Phrase and its types
 Clause and its types
 Sentence and its types

2. PHRASE :
Phrase is a group of words that work together to make
meaning, but it is not a complete sentence.
Example :
• My English teacher.
• The brown jacket.

3. Types of Phrase
• Noun Phrase
• Verb Phrase
• Prepositional Phrase
• Participial Phrase
• Gerund Phrase
• Infinitive Phrase
• Absolute Phrase

4. Noun Phrase :
A noun phrase consists of a noun and other
related words (usually modifiers and determiners) which modify
the noun. It functions like a noun in a sentence.
Example :
• He is wearing a nice red shirt.
• She brought a glass full of water.

5. Verb Phrase :
A verb phrase is a combination of main verb
and its auxiliaries (helping verbs) in a sentence.
Example :
• He is eating an apple.
• She has finished her work.

6. Prepositional Phrase :
A prepositional phrase always starts
with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun (and its
modifiers) that is called the object of the preposition.
Example :
• A boy on the roof is singing a song.
• The man in the room is our teacher.

7. Participial Phrase :
A participle phrase consists of a present
participle (verb + ing), a past participle (verb ending in -ed or other
form in case of irregular verbs) and modifiers or other associate
words.
Example :
• The kids, making a noise, need food.
• I received a letter, mentioning about my exam.

8. Gerund Phrase :
A gerund phrase consists of a gerund
(verb + ing) and modifiers or other words associated with the
gerund. A gerund phrase acts as a noun in a sentence.
Example :
• I like writing good essays.
• She started thinking about the problem.

9. Infinitive Phrase :
An infinitive phrase consist of an infinitive(to +
simple form of verb) and modifiers or other words associated to the
infinitive. An infinitive phrase always functions as an adjective, adverb or
a noun in a sentence.
Example :
• He likes to read books.
• To earn money is a desire of everyone.

10. Absolute Phrase :
Absolute phrase (also called nominative
phrase) is a group of words including a noun or pronoun and a
participle as well as any associated modifiers.
Example :
• He looks sad, his face expressing worry.
• She was waiting for her friend, her eyes on the clock.

11. CLAUSE :
A clause is a group of words that includes
a subject and a verb.
Example :
• When the Moon shone, he lurked in the shadows.
• During the day, Vlad slept in a coffin

12. Types of Clause :
• Main Clause
• Subordinate Clause
• Adjective Clause
• Noun Clause

13. Main Clause :
A main clause also known as independent clause is
a clause that can stand alone as a complete sentence. Remember that
every sentence must have at least one main clause. Otherwise, you have
a fragment, a major error.
SUBJECT + VERB = COMPLETE THOUGHT.
Example :
• Cola spilled over the glass and splashed onto the counter.
• My dog loves pizza crusts.

14. Subordinate Clause :
A subordinate clause also known as
dependent clause contains a subject and a verb, but it needs to be
attached to a main clause because it cannot make sense on its own.
SUBORDINATE CONJUNCTION + SUBJECT + VERB = INCOMPLETE THOUGHT.
Example :
• Because my dog loves pizza crusts, he never barks at the
deliveryman.

15. Adjective Clause :
An adjective clause will begin with a relative
pronoun (such as who, whom, whose, which, or that) or a relative
adverb (when, where, or why).
RELATIVE PRONOUN OR ADVERB + SUBJECT + VERB = INCOMPLETE THOUGHT.
Example :
• Anthony ran to get paper towels for the cola that had spilled over the glass
and splashed onto the counter.

16. Noun Clause :
A noun clause is a dependent clause that takes the place of
any noun in the sentence, whether they are subjects, objects, or subject
complements.
Example :
• You really do not want to know what Aunt Nancy adds to her stew.
• She was saddened by what she had read.

17. Sentence :
A sentence is a grammatically complete idea.
All sentences have a noun or pronoun component called the subject,
and a verb part called the predicate.
Example :
• Joe waited for the train.
• The train was late.

18. Types of Sentence :
• Declarative Sentence
• Imperative Sentence
• Interrogative Sentence
• Exclamatory Sentence

19. Declarative Sentence :
A declarative sentence is a sentence that
makes a statement, provides a fact, offers an explanation, or conveys
information. These types of sentences are also known
as declarative statements.
Example :
• London is the capital of England.
• We live in continent of Asia

20. Imperative Sentence :
An imperative sentence is a
command or a polite request. It ends with a period (full stop).
Example :
• Please bring my umbrella.
• Let window be open or while.

21. Interrogative Sentence :
An interrogative sentence asks a
question. It ends with a question mark (?).
Example :
• Can you find my umbrella?
• Will you come over tonight ?

22. Exclamatory Sentence :
An exclamatory sentence expresses
excitement or emotion. It ends with an exclamation mark (!).
Example :
