what does phrase means A phrase is a string of words that on their own cannot stand as a complete sentence. A phrase is usually a prepositional phrase (introduced by a preposition); prepositional phrases in turn are usually also either adverbial or adjectival phrases because they modify a verb or a noun in the main clause. Example: "His mother was angry at him". "...at him" is a prepositional phrase, introduced by the preposition "at". In this case it is also an adverbial phrase, because it modifies the verb "was angry". The prepositional phrase contains no verb, which is why it is a phrase instead of a clause. Example: "He lost his backpack with all of his schoolwork." "...with all of his schoolwork" is an prepositional phrase, introduced by the preposition "with". But in this case it is an *adjectival* phrase because it modifies the noun "backpack", instead of modifying a verb. Compare to this: "His mother was angry at him so he ran to his room." "...he ran to his room" is a clause, not a phrase, because by itself it is a complete sentence (it has a subject and a verb and can stand alone by itself as a sentence). In this case it is joined to the main clause by the coordinating conjunction "so".
participial phrase
Any of an adverb, an adverb phrase or an adverb clause can describe a verb.Adverb: She swam smoothly.Adverb phrase: She swam through the water.Adverb clause: She swam when she saw the turtle.
The sentence "because of her glittering smile" is a clause, not a phrase, because it contains a subject ("her") and a verb ("smile").
"Is walking to the parking garage" is a clause because it contains a subject ("walking") and a verb ("is").
"We had fun" is a clause because it contains a subject ("we") and a verb ("had"). A phrase, on the other hand, does not contain both a subject and a verb.
"with a sigh" is a prepositional phrase because it includes a preposition ("with") and a noun ("sigh"), but it does not have a subject and verb to form a complete thought like a clause would.
clause because it simply has a subject and predicate
It is a phrase.
adverbial clause
They both describe a part of the larger sentence. However, a phrase does NOT have a verb it is. A Clause has a VERB in it. e.g. King Charles(III) , who is King of England ; contains a clause , because it contains the verb 'is' . King Charles(III) , the King of England ; is a phrase. No verb 'is'!!!!
"He moved" is the independent clause because it can stand alone as a complete sentence. "But then" is a subordinating conjunction that introduces the dependent clause which adds more information about the action in the independent clause.
