Question

what are phrases???????????​

Answer 1

A phrase is not quite a sentence. A sentence has a subject, a verb and an object in it. If it doesn’t have a verb it is a phrase, not a sentence.

A common phrase in use today is part, I think, of teen talk, or slang. It is ‘whatever’ - a one word phrase used as if it were a sentence

Answer 2

In everyday speech, a phrase may be any group of words, often carrying a special idiomatic meaning; in this sense it is synonymous with expression. In linguistic analysis, a phrase is a group of words that functions as a constituent in the syntax of a sentence, a single unit within a grammatical hierarchy.
