Phrases and Clauses with LanGeek
Understanding the fundamental components of English grammar is essential for mastering the language. Phrases and clauses form the foundation of this structure, and LanGeek is here to guide you through their nuances with engaging, structured lessons designed for intermediate and advanced learners.
What Are Phrases and Clauses?
In English grammar, phrases and clauses are fundamental components of sentence construction.
Phrases are groups of words that work together to perform a specific role within a sentence but lack a subject-verb pairing. Examples include noun phrases "a beautiful garden" and prepositional phrases "under the table".
Clauses, on the other hand, contain both a subject and a predicate. They can function as independent units, like sentences "She danced", or depend on another clause "because it rained".
Mastering phrases and clauses enhances your writing, speaking, and comprehension skills, enabling you to construct complex ideas with clarity and precision.
