| Nov 8, 2018 at 22:35 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | A phrase is a small group of words, grammatically taking the same place of a single word. For example, "the man on the Clapham omnibus" instead of "everyman", with "Mr Average" broadly between. "(The…) Price is Right" is a bad example because it isn't a phrase… it's a noun, however complex. A real phrase might be "Games such as The Price is Right" and d'you see the difference? A clause might be "Games such as The Price is Right are good (bad or indifferent)"… which could in itself be a sentence but only depending on your context. | |
