Document Summary
The building blocks of complete sentences: phrases and clauses. Phrase: a group of words that contain either subject or a verb, which cannot stand on its own as a complete sentence. Functions as a part of speech as nouns, verbs and modifiers e. g. (cid:862)after negotiations, the company had eliminated the idea of a new bonus plan to offer to its employees. By contacting the customer service representative, you may learn more about the updated ter(cid:373)s a(cid:374)d co(cid:374)ditio(cid:374)s. (cid:863) Subject: the word or group of words in a phrase, clause or sentence that acts or is acted upon. Verb: the word or group of words in a phrase, clause or sentence that describes an action, an occurrence or state of being. Modifier: a word or group of words that describes or gives more information about another word in a sentence. A phrase that is punctuated like a complete sentence is actually a sentence fragment and that often leads to confusion.
