What is a phrase? A phrase is a group of words that DOES NOT contain BOTH a subject and a verb.

Types of Phrases Noun Phrases Participial Absolute Prepositional Appositives Gerunds Infinitive Participial Absolute Prepositional

Noun Phrases Noun phrases contain a noun and all of its modifiers. There are three types of noun phrases: Appositives Gerunds Infinitive

Appositives Appositives rename or describes another noun. Example: One of eleven brothers and sisters, Harriet was a moody and willful child. Bob, my best friend, works here. The boy looked at them, big black ugly insects.

Gerund Phrases Gerund phrases are noun phrases with a gerund (-ing) at the beginning. Example: I love baking cakes.

Infinitive Phrases Infinitive phrases use the infinitive form (to ____) Example: I love to bake cakes. Infinitive phrases can also be used as adverbial or adjectival phrase.

Participial Phrases Participial phrases have a participle (a verb acting as an adjective; cascading water, broken table, etc.) Example: Crushed to pieces by a sledgehammer, the computer no longer worked.

Absolute Phrases Absolute phrases are ALMOST complete sentences. They contain a subject, but are missing a verb. Instead of adding more information about a noun or a verb, absolute phrases modify an entire sentence, indicating something related happening at the exact same moment. Example: My cake finally baking in the oven, I was free to rest for thirty minutes.

Prepositional Phrases Prepositional phrases are phrases that contain a preposition at the beginning. Example: She sat around the house. In the dark room, she felt all her old fears return.
