What to Focus On

  • A phrase makes sense but not complete sense.
  • A phrase may be one word or more than one word.
  • A phrase has no finite verb.
  • Noun phrase acts as a noun.
  • Adjective phrase acts as an adjective.
  • Adverb phrase acts as an adverb.
  • A clause has a subject and a finite verb of its own.
  • A clause contains only one finite verb.
  • A clause may or may not stand on its own.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any group of words that makes sense is a sentence.

A phrase must always have many words.

A clause is the same as a phrase because both are groups of words.

Memory Tips
