Question

They were annoyed (by the baby crying so loudly.)
Identify if the words in brackets as a phrase or clause

Answer 1

Phrase because it’s not making complete sense alone . Hope it’s helpful for u. Thanks

Answer 2

Answer:

There is no subject-verb agreement. Because it begins with the preposition by, this is a prepositional phrase.

Explanation:

A clause is a group of words that includes both a subject and a verb. A simple sentence is an independent clause. It is self-contained.

Examples:

She is hungry.

I am feeling well today.

A dependent clause cannot stand alone. A sentence cannot be completed without an independent clause. Although, since, if, when, and because are common words used to begin dependent clauses.

A phrase is a group of words used as a single part of speech that lacks a subject-verb component.

Examples:

Best friend (this phrase acts as a noun)
