TYPE 1:
Define “phrase” in your own words.
What are three types of phrases we
have learned?
Check your answers:
Phrase: a group of words that act as a single part of
speech.
1.
Infinitive Phrase
•EX: To snore loudly is annoying.
2. Verb Phrase
•EX: I have been sleeping less and less.
3. Prepositional Phrase
•EX: During the afternoon, the toddler naps.
If a phrase acts as a SINGLE part of
speech, what part of speech could an
INFINITIVE PHRASE act as?
• An Infinitive Phrase acts as
NOUN, ADJECTIVE, or
ADVERB
• Example: To snore loudly is annoying.
• Explanation: In this sentence, the subject is an
infinitive; therefore, the phrase is a NOUN because
subjects are always a noun or a pronoun.
If a phrase acts as a SINGLE part
of speech, what part of speech
does a VERB PHRASE act as?
• A verb phrase always acts
as a VERB
• Can you explain why using the following sentence?
•Example: I have been sleeping less and less.
•Explanation: In this sentence, the verb phrase is the
predicate of the sentence. A predicate is always a verb
or verb phrase.
If a phrase acts as a SINGLE part of
speech, what part of speech could a
PREPOSTIONAL PHRASE act as?
A prepositional phrase acts as an
ADJECTIVE or an ADVERB
• Example: During the afternoon, the toddler naps.
• Explanation: This phrase is acting as an ADVERB because it
describes when the toddler naps.
• Example: The girl with golden hair hates cold porridge.
• Explanation: This phrase is acting as an ADJECTIVE because it
describes what kind of the girl.
