Core Elements of English Grammar

1. Phrase – تعریف (Definition):

A phrase is a group of words without a subject or verb that acts as a single part of speech. It does not make complete sense on its own.

Examples:

  • In the morning

  • A bunch of flowers

  • Under the table

  • Very quickly

🟢 These add meaning to sentences but cannot stand alone.

2. Clause – تعریف (Definition):

A clause is a group of words that has a subject and a verb. It can make complete or incomplete sense.

Types of Clauses:

  • Independent Clause (can stand alone):
    She was tired.

  • Dependent Clause (cannot stand alone):
    Because she was tired

Examples:

  • Although it was raining

  • I like the book

  • When he arrived

3. Sentence – تعریف (Definition):

A sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense, has at least one subject and one verb, and expresses a complete thought.

Examples:

  • He is sleeping.

  • I went to the market.
