What is a phrase? Give one example of each type of phrase
A phrase is a group of words that express a concept and is used as a unit within a sentence. Eight common types of phrases are: noun, verb, gerund, infinitive, appositive, participial, prepositional, and absolute. Take a look at our selection of phrase examples below.

What is definite article? Where is it used? Give three examples.
Singular, countable noun – Used before a singular noun, something that can be counted, the definite article specifies which one is being referred to. For example, “The thief has run away.”
Plural, countable noun – It may be used before a plural countable noun, when the noun is specific, not general. For instance, “Police officers killed three of the robbers.”
Uncountable noun – It may be used before a noun, which is something that cannot be counted. For instance, “The sand is blown by wind.” Sand cannot be counted, though its individual grains can.
Particular noun – No definite article is used with a particular noun, such as “Mr. Washington.” Simply, one cannot be called “The Washington.” Nevertheless, a definite article can be used to introduce his family group of Mr. Washington: “The Washingtons live down the street.”
Names of countries – It is not used with the proper names of countries and towns, with few exceptions. Exceptions include: the United States, the Czech Republic, and the Netherlands.
Names of bodies of water – The names of some water bodies require definite articles, such as the Mississippi, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Indian Ocean, etc. However, there are additional exceptions, such as some lakes (i.e. Lake Michigan), which do not use a definite article.
How is the usage of 'a' different from 'an' in English language?
English has two articles: the and a/an. The is used to refer to specific or particular nouns; a/an is used to modify non-specific or non-particular nouns.We call the the definite article and a/an the indefinite article.
the = definite article
a/an = indefinite article

What are adjectives? Explain with the help of an example.
Adjectives are words that describe or modify other words, making your writing and speaking much more specific, and a whole lot more interesting. Words like small, blue, and sharp are descriptive, and they are all examples of adjectives. Because adjectives are used to identify or quantify individual people and unique things, they are usually positioned before the noun or pronoun that they modify. Some sentences contain multiple adjectives.
Explain the following terms:
a. Subject
b. Predicate
Every complete sentence contains two parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject is what (or whom) the sentence is about, while the predicate tells something about the subject. In the following sentences, the predicate is enclosed in braces ( { } ), while the subject is highlighted.
Judy {runs}.
Judy and her dog {run on the beach every morning}
