My hometown of Austin, TX is a little quirky (one of the reasons why I love it so much) and the only place that can rival such an atmosphere out here in SoCal is Venice Blvd. While the beach itself isnât the cleanest or most picturesque, there is no lack of incredibly interesting people watching.
Phrases are groups of words, without both a subject and a verb, functioning as a single part of speech. This means that while a phrase is made up of multiple words (all of which have their own function), all of the words work together to perform one larger function. There are many different kinds of phrases, and we're going to explore quite a few of them.
A phrase is a group of related words that does not include a subject and verb. (If the group of related words does contain a subject and verb, it is considered a clause .) There are several different kinds of phrases.See below for definitions of participial, infinitive, and prepositional phrases.] Usually, a noun phrase will be all of a piece, all the words that compose it being contiguous with the noun itself. It is possible, however, for a noun phrase to be broken, to become what we call discontinuous.
