PHRASE
A phrase is a group of words that work together, but it lacks both a subject and a verb. Here are
explanations and three examples for different types of phrases:
1. PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE

object.

state of being.

CLAUSE
A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. There are two main types:
independent clauses and dependent clauses.
1. INDEPENDENT CLAUSE

depends on an independent clause.

importance of clause are

3. USE OF PARALLEL STRUCTURE
Parallel structure is a grammatical rule that says that words or sentence should have the same
grammertical form .
e.i : if you start a list with verb , each items in the list should be verb .
If you start a list with noun ,each items in the list should be noun.
Example 1: He ran, swam and jumped.
👆👆 All the verbs in the list have the same grammertical form (verb )
Example 2: she traveled by boat, bus and train.
Example 3: The garden is full of oranges, grapes and apples.
I believe this is clear.
Note: parallel structure makes your writing clear and easier to understand.
It makes your sentence sound more polished.
Another Parallel construction:
👇👇)
Instead of saying - I like to swimming and to play tennis. (You can say
"I like swimming and playing tennis."
It's clear that the second sentence is more concise and grammertically correct.

when you write.

Active voice is a sentence construction where the subject performs the action.
Examples:
