Phrase and clause are the most important elements of English grammar. Phrase and clause cover everything a sentence has. Clauses are the center of sentences and phrases strengthen the sentences to become meaningful. If the clauses are the pillars of a building, the phrases are the bricks. A phrase usually is always present within a clause, but a phrase cannot have a clause in it. The basic difference between a clause and a phrase is that a clause must have a finite verb and a phrase must not. In this Power Point Presentation I clearly Discussed about the Phrases and Clauses in very detailed manner. Please use this Power Point Presentation for your reference purpose.

In 2003 I had prepared this presentation on basic rules of English Language. There are a few points we mostly get confused and look for gramatical rules, so I had tried to collect all under one umbrella for everyone's ease. Being shared with all. :) Do correct me if you find faults. Thanks.
Concord means a harmonious relationship between two grammatical items. Of all the types of concord the most important is the concord of number and person between the subject and the verb.
In English the concord system is simple, a verb is not affected by the gender system at all because it has the same form for both masculine and feminine subjects. Further, subject-verb-concord in English is restricted to simple present tense. In English there is nothing like object-verb-concord. In this Power Point Presentation I clearly discussed about the Grammar topic Concord and its Rules in very clear manner. Please use this Power Point Presentation for your reference purpose.
Tenses demonstrate the time of an action in a sentence usually performed by or centered around the subject of the sentence. The actions are called verbs. Verbs change according to tenses and other issues. As verbs are the most important elements of English sentences, tenses also carry paramount importance in English grammar. In this Power Point Presentation I clearly discussed about the Tenses and its types in very detailed manner. Please use this Power Point Presentation for your reference purpose.
A transitive verb is a verb that requires an object to receive the action. An intransitive verb does not take an object. Using an object immediately after an intransitive verb will create an incorrect sentence. However, there may be other information after the verb, such as one or more prepositional phrases or an adverb. In this Power Point Presentation I clearly discussed about the Transitive and Intransitive verbs. Please make use of this Power Point Presentation for your reference purpose.
Direct Speech: the message of the speaker is conveyed or reported in his own actual words without any change.
Indirect Speech: the message of the speaker is conveyed or reported in our own words. In this Power Point Presentation I clearly discussed about Direct and Indirect Speech and the tips for conversion of Direct to Indirect Speech. Please use this Power Point Presentation for your reference purpose.
A Participle is a word which is partly a verb and partly an Adjective. In this Power Point Presentation I clearly discussed about the Grammar topic Participles and its types and also I enclose the list of Participles in this presentation. Please use this Power Point for your reference purpose.
An infinitive is a form of verb that appears in its basic form. It is preceded by a particle “to,” and can serve as an adjective, an adverb, or a noun. In this Power Point Presentation I clearly discussed about Infinitives and its usage in very detailed manner. please use this Power Point Presentation for your Reference.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

PHRASES AND CLAUSES
2. General Information
Phrase and clause are the most important elements of
English grammar.
Phrase and clause cover everything a sentence has.
Clauses are the center of sentences and phrases
strengthen the sentences to become meaningful.
If the clauses are the pillars of a building, the phrases are
the bricks.
A phrase usually is always present within a clause, but a
phrase cannot have a clause in it.
The basic difference between a clause and a phrase is that
a clause must have a finite verb and a phrase must not.
3. Phrase
A phrase, therefore, is a group of words which has
no finite verb in it and acts to complete the sentence
for making it meaningful.
4. Phrase according to Oxford Dictionary
“A phrase is a small group of words that form a
meaningful unit within a clause.”-Oxford
Dictionary
5. Phrase according to Osborne, Timothy,
Michael Putnam, and Thomas Gross (2011)
“In linguistic analysis, a phrase is a group of words
(or possibly a single word) that functions as
a constituent in the syntax of a sentence, a single
unit within agrammatical hierarchy.”- Osborne,
Timothy, Michael Putnam, and Thomas
Gross (2011)
7. Noun Phrase
A noun phrase is usually assembled centering a
single noun and works as a subject, an object or a
complement in the sentence.
8. Examples
I like to swing the bat hard when I am at the
crease. (An object)
Reading novels is a good habit. (A subject)
The probability of happening that match is not
much. (A subject)
We are sorry for her departure.
9. Adjective Phrase
An adjective phrase is comprised of an adjective
and works as a single adjective in the sentence.
10. Examples
Alex is a well-behaved man.
He is a man of friendly nature.
Julie is a woman of gorgeous style.
She leads a very interesting life.
A lot of people do not sleep at night.
11. Adverbial Phrase
An adverbial phrase modifies the verb or the
adjective and works as an adverb in the sentence.
12. Examples
The horse runs at a good speed.
I was in a hurry then.
I ran as fast as possible.
He works very slowly.
13. Prepositional Phrase
A prepositional phrase always begins with a
preposition and connects nouns.
14. Examples
He sacrificed his life for the sake of his country.
In the end, we all have to die.
He is on the way.
By working aimlessly, you will not get success.
In spite of working hard, he was insulted by his
boss.
Note: Prepositional phrases include all other
types of phrases.
16. Examples
As soon as you got in, he went out.
We have to work hard so that we can win the next
match.
I will attend the ceremony provided that you come.
John started working early in order that he could
finish early.
18. Examples
What a pity! He is dead.
What a pleasure! I won the first prize.
Oh please! Don’t say that again.
19. Clause
A clause is comprised of a group of words which
includes a subject and a finite verb.
A clause contains only one subject and one verb.
The subject of a clause can be mentioned or hidden,
but the verb must be apparent and distinguishable.
20. Clause according to Merriam Webster
A clause “a group of words containing a subject and
predicate and functioning as a member of a complex
or compound sentence.” – Merriam-Webster
21. Examples
I graduated last year. (One clause sentence)
When I came here, I saw him. (Two clause
sentence)
When I came here, I saw him, and he greeted
me. (Three clause sentence)
23. Independent Clause
An independent clause functions on its own to
make a meaningful sentence and looks much like a
regular sentence.
In a sentence two independent clauses can be
connected by the coordinators: and, but, so, or,
nor, for, yet.
24. Examples
He is a wise man.
I like him.
Can you do it?
Do it please. (Subject you is hidden)
I read the whole story.
I want to buy a phone, but I don’t have enough
money. (Two independent clauses)
He went to London and visited the Lords.
(Subject of the second clause is ‘he,' so “he
visited the Lords” is an independent clause.)
Alex smiles whenever he sees her. (One independent
clause)
25. Dependent Clause
A dependent clause cannot function on its own
because it leaves an idea or thought unfinished.
It is also called subordinate clause. Dependent clauses
help the independent clauses complete the sentence.
A dependent clause alone cannot form a complete
sentence.
The subordinators do the work of connecting the
dependent clause to another clause to complete the
sentence.
In each of the dependent clause, the first word is a
subordinator.
Subordinators include relative pronouns, subordinating
conjunctions, and noun clause markers.
26. Examples
When I was dating Daina, I had an accident.
I know the man who stole the watch.
He bought a car which was too expensive.
I know that he cannot do it.
He does not know where he was born.
If you don’t eat, I won’t go.
He is a very talented player though he is out of
form.
