    How to Use Phrases?
    There are some things that you have to remember when using phrases.
    • Phrases are just a part of the sentence and cannot stand alone.
    • They do not give complete meaning if taken out of context.
    • They are mostly used to provide extra information about the subject,
    object or other components in a sentence.
    • There can be more than one phrase in a sentence.
    • Make sure that the phrase gives your sentence clarity and does not
    simply accumulate the sentence with information.
    Noun Phrases
    A noun phrase is a group of words that have a noun or pronoun. It is
    used to modify the noun. In other words, it can be said that a noun
    phrase can function as a subject, an object or a complement in a
    sentence.
    • For example:
    • My brother’s friend had come to visit him. (Used as a subject)
    • Scented candles are my favorite. (Used as a subject)
    • The students were asked to find the buried treasure. (Used as an
    object)
    Adjective Phrases
    An adjective phrase or an adjectival phrase is a group of words that
    consists of an adjective. It can be used to complement it. It provides
    more information about the noun or pronoun in a sentence. In other
    words, it can be said that it functions just like an adjective in a sentence.

    an adverb. It can be placed in any part of the sentence, with respect to
    the part of speech they modify.

    • Later this evening, my cousins and I have planned to go to the park.
    • They saw some abandoned puppies at the corner of the street.
    Verb Phrases

    tournament. ( Present Continuous Tenses)
