What is a Phrase?

A phrase is a selection of words that happen to stand together as a unit. It is normally part of a sentence or a clause. A phrase doesn't include a verb or subject, and therefore it is unable to convey a full thought. A phrase also contrasts with a clause. The main reason for this is because a clause contains both a subject and a verb, and it can convey a full idea.
