No. In this case, "phrase" is being used as a noun, not a verb. Therefore, this is a sentence fragement because it doesn't express a complete thought.
You're left trying to figure out "A phrase is what?"
In order to make this a complete thought you should add the predicate.
example: "A phrase can have many origins."
Or...
Do you just mean "phrases" in general. If so, then NO once again. A phrase is a group of words which contains neither a subject nor a verb.
example: Great answer
(prepositional phrase) In a heartbeat
The two examples are incomplete sentences.
yes
Yes. A clause contains a subject and a predicate. e.g. English language (subject) is an interesting language (predicate).
This is called a phrase.
The two parts of a complete sentence are the subject and predicate. The subject contains a noun, the predicate a verb. "My dog died." Subject = My dog Predicate = died
The simple predicate is more commonly known as the verb.Every complete sentence contains two parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject is what (or whom) the sentence is about, while the predicate tells something about the subject. In the following sentences, the subject is in brackets and the predicate is highlighted:(The dog) barks.(The dog) chased the cat around the garden.(The board) discussed the upcoming merger.A predicate has at its centre a simple predicate, which is always the verb or verbs that link up with the subject. In the above examples, the simple predicates are "barks" "chased" and "discussed".
The predicate indicates what the subject is doing.For ex. The teenager walked down the lane.The subject is the teenager.The predicate is what is bolded, what the teenager is doing.~Now, get me some chocolate~
A phrase contains either a subject or a predicate but not both. A subject is present in a noun phrase, while a predicate is found in a verb phrase. An example of a phrase with a subject but no predicate is "the big tree."
A phrase contains either a subject or a predicate, but not both. For example, "under the table" is a phrase that functions as neither a subject nor a predicate.
That is correct. An appositive phrase provides additional information about a noun in a sentence but does not contain a subject and predicate of its own. It renames or further describes the noun it follows.
A predicate phrase contains a verb and its related words that describe the action or state of being in a sentence. It complements the subject by providing more information about the action or condition. It can include modifiers, objects, and complements.
A phrase is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate but does not convey a complete thought on its own. It is used as part of a sentence to provide additional information, describe something, or add detail.
Compound sentences include a verb that connects the subject to a word or phrase in the predicate. The predicate will then rename or describe the subject.
Yes. A clause contains a subject and a predicate. e.g. English language (subject) is an interesting language (predicate).
A predicate requires a verb or a verb phrase. A predicate must also refer to the subject of the sentence.
This is called a phrase.
A complete sentence is comprised of a subject and a predicate. The subject is a noun or noun phrase, and the predicate essentially tells what the subject does.
Well a compound predicate is one or more verbs or verb phrase.
"Was cleaning" is part of the predicate. It is the verb phrase that describes the action being performed by the subject.
