Types of Phrases A phrase is: • A group of related words that is used as a single part of speech. • A phrase is a group of words that does not have both a subject and a predicate, so it is never a complete sentence. types of phrases • Prepositional phrases • Appositive phrases (essential and non-essential) • Participle • Gerund Prepositional Phrases • Contain a preposition (those small words of location—in, on, under, over, beside, etc.) • Have a preposition and a noun, and sometimes a word in between. On the road Over the river To the gym Beside the ducks from Grandma in my backpack How to remember prepositional phrases: Think about anywhere a cat can go. Over the chair Under my car tire Around the circle Of my friend (Oops! Not foolproof) Through the yard Non-essential appositive phrases • It means that the adjective clause is NOT needed in order to IDENTIFY the referent (what we are talking about). It is simply additional information. • Does not identify “which one” Non-essential Appositive Phrases In each of the examples, the underlined part is the appositive. • “Larry, the plumber, fixed the sink. • An excellent dancer, Rebecca took years of lessons. • Miss Piggy, Kermit’s girlfriend, won first prize, a pot-bellied pig. Essential Appositive Phrase • An essential clause specifies “which noun” The essential clause tells the reader which one of many the writer means. In each of the examples, the underlined part is the appositive. • The man who ordered another double anchovy pizza claims to have a pet dolphin in his backyard pool. - Which man among the billions of human males on the planet? The one who ordered the double anchovy pizza! • Freddie hopes to return to the city where he met a woman with haunting green eyes. - Which of the many cities on the planet? The one where Freddie met a memorable woman! • Swiss scientist Jacques Piccard is an oceanographic engineer. - Tells specifically which Scientist Participial phrases Phrases used to describe that start with a word ending in “ing” or “ed”. The people standing in line grew irritated. Which people? The ones standing in line. Determined to make the team, Jo shot baskets every night. For what reason did Jo shoot? Because she’s determined to make the team. present participle phrase Present participle phrases will start with a word ending in -ing Ex: The horse trotting up to the fence hopes that you have an apple or carrot. Trotting up to the fence modifies the noun horse. Past participle phrase Past participles end in -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or -ne as in the words asked, eaten, saved, dealt, seen, and gone. (usually ed) Examples: The church, destroyed by a fire, was never rebuilt. Tom nervously watched the woman, alarmed by her silence. Gerund A gerund phrase will begin with a gerund, an ing word, and will include other modifiers and/or objects. Gerund phrases always function as nouns, so they will be subjects or objects of the sentence. Gerund examples Eating ice cream on a windy day can be a messy experience if you have long, untamed hair. Eating ice cream is the subject of the sentence. It is the thing that IS messy. Is being the verb. A more disastrous activity for longhaired people is blowing giant bubble gum bubbles with the car windows down. Blowing giant bubble gum bubbles is the object of the sentence. It is the disastrous activity in the subject. Don't mistake a present participle phrase for a gerund phrase. Gerund and present participle phrases are easy to confuse because they both begin with an ing word. The difference is the function that they provide in the sentence. A gerund phrase will always behave as a noun while a present participle phrase will act as an adjective. Check out these examples: Walking on the beach, Delores dodged jellyfish that had washed ashore. Walking on the beach = present participle phrase describing the noun Delores. Walking on the beach is painful if jellyfish have washed ashore. Walking on the beach = gerund phrase, the subject of the verb is.
