A verb phrase is a group of words that includes a main verb and any auxiliary verbs or modifiers, indicating an action or condition. A noun phrase, on the other hand, is a group of words centered around a noun that functions as a subject, object, or complement in a sentence. In essence, the key distinction lies in whether the central element is a verb or a noun.
