THE PHRASES

A. LEARNING GOALS
The goals of study are :
1.1. Understanding the definition and examples of phrases.
1.2. Using phrases in the sentences.

B. MATERIALS DESCRIPTION
LEARNING GOALS 1.1:
THE DEFINITION AND EXAMPLES OF PHRASES

A phrase is two or more words that do not contain the subject-verb to


make meaning, but it is not a complete sentence. Phrases can be very short or
quite long.
For Example:
He is standing near a tree.
Near a tree = a phrase
The part of above sentence “near a treel” is a phrase because it does not
have subject and verb, and express a complete idea. A phrase does not include
both subject and verb at a same time and does not make a complete sense.
A phrase cannot stand as a sentence on its own.
If a group of words include both subject and verb then it becomes a
clause, so the difference in a clause and a phrase is that a clause contains
subject and verb but a phrase does not contain subject and verb. Here are
some examples of phrases:
Running to class, Ambrose tripped on the stairs and dropped his backpack.
Running to class = a phrase
After lunch, Doni went to computer class.
After lunch, = a phrase

LEARNING GOALS 1.2:
USING PHRASES IN THE SENTENCES
A sentence may consist of one or more phrases. For example: The
boy in the red shirt behaves in a strange way. A phrase functions as a noun,
verb, adverb, adjective or preposition in a sentence. The function of a phrase
depends on its construction. On the basis of their functions and constructions,
phrases are divided into various types: noun phrase, verb phrase, adjective
phrase, adverb phrase, and prepositional phrase.
The example of phrases put together in the sentences :
The brown hat was blowing away in the wind
The brown hat = Noun Phrase
Was blowing = verb phrase
The flowers will bloom in spring
In spring = adverb phrase
My dad bought a blue and black sweater.
A blue and black = adjective phrase
In English phrase, there are five types of phrases:
1) Noun Phrase;
2) Verb Phrase;
3) Adjective Phrase
4) Adverb Phrase
5) Prepositional Phrase.
These types of phrases above will be discussed in the next meeting
