Phrases and Clauses

A phrase is a group of words that replace a single part of speech.
The different parts of speech are Adjective, Noun, Verb, Adverb, Preposition, Conjunction, Pronoun, and Interjection.
A clause is a group of words that are made up of at least one subject and one verb.
You can tell the difference between phrases and clauses apart by whether or not they have a subject.
There is something called a Misplaced Modifier which is where a clause or a phrase is in the wrong place so you can’t tell what it is supposed to replace.
There is also a dangling modifier which is when a clause or a phrase is modifying something that is outside of the sentence.
A compound or complex sentence is where there is more than one independent clause.
