What is a phrase?

A phrase is a group of words that work together to convey a specific meaning, but it does not have a subject and a predicate combination necessary to form a complete sentence. It functions as a single unit within a sentence and can act as a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, or preposition. Phrases can be categorized into different types based on their structure and purpose, such as noun phrases, verb phrases, adjective phrases, adverb phrases, and prepositional phrases.
