What is an absolute phrase?

An absolute phrase is a grammatical construction that consists of a noun or pronoun followed by a participle or participial phrase. It is used to provide additional information about the main clause in a sentence and is not directly connected to the main subject or verb. The absolute phrase is typically set off by commas and can modify the entire sentence or a specific noun within the sentence.
