Give the definition phrases and five examples

Phrases are group of meaningful words that add meaning to a sentence.
It is different from a sentence because it does not contain a subject, verb or predicate.

A phrase has meaning when it is alone but it cannot be said to be a complete sentence.

Examples of phrases

• A sharp contrast
• Once in a while
• In my lifetime
• The Landowner is here

list and explain in your own words, the types of phrases we have and include two examples each.

Types of Phrases

The following are the types of phrases we have:

A gerund phrase consists of a gerund (verb + ing) or a modifier or object that is associated with it.
