Answer:
Phrase:
A phrase is a group of words that stand together as a single grammatical unit, typically as part of a clause or a sentence.
A phrase does not contain a subject and verb and, consequently, cannot convey a complete thought. A phrase contrasts with a clause. A clause does contain a subject and verb, and it can convey a complete idea.

Easy Examples of Phrases
Let's start with a sentence that has no phrases and then build some in.
- Janet eats cakes daily.
(This sentence has no phrases. All of the parts of the sentence are single words.)
- My cousin Janet eats cakes daily.
(Now we have a phrase. It's a three-word phrase functioning as the subject of this sentence. Note that the phrase itself does not contain its own subject and verb.)
- My cousin Janet eats cakes during the week.
(We've added another phrase. This one also has three words, but it is functioning as an adverb.)
- My cousin Janet was eating cakes during the week.
(We've added another phrase. This one has two words. It is a multi-word verb.)
- My cousin Janet was eating cream cakes from the bakery during the week.
(We've added another phrase. This one has five words. It is functioning as a direct object in this sentence.)
