WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
Every day is a new day and a new blessing to learn something.
Something important that you can use in your daily life and in the future.
Part of the challenges that await you is the ability to connect with other
people, share messages and get understood with your feelings and emotions
to others. This challenge will help you appreciate how learning phrases,
clauses and sentences widen you understanding in dealing with others.
Phrases, Clauses and Sentences are the most important structural
units of language. They provide structure and meaning to almost all the
languages. The phrases and clauses provide a sense to a sentence. A
complete understanding of the structural parameters is crucial to the
understanding of the meaning of sentences.
As you go through this lesson, you will learn the importance of
appropriate and meaningful use of Phrases, Clauses and Sentences for you
to become a person who can share his/her ideas clearly and express
emotions to the people around you.
This module provides discussion about the lesson with appropriate
examples and activities for you to browse and answer religiously. The
activities are simply designed to cater to your needs in developing your skills
in identifying phrases, clauses and sentences and how these are used.
Begin by reading and understanding the Most Essential Learning
Competencies and Learning Objectives. These will tell you what you
should know and be able to do at the end of every lesson.
It is not enough that you acquire content or information. You must
be able to demonstrate what you learned by doing the activities prepared
for you. In other words, you must be able to digest the lesson through your
effort in giving answers to all activities in your activity notebook.

WHAT’S NEW
That was a good start! Keep going! You will get to know more as you
go on with this module. Now, it is way better if you go into a deeper
understanding of the activities that you went through actively. READ and
take your time to get the important points about this lesson on PHRASES,
CLAUSES and SENTENCES.
3
Phrases and Clauses are parts of a sentence.
Examine the items below:
What is a phrase?
What is a clause?
A clause is a group of words that consists of a subject and a verb
WHAT IS IT
Both the clause and the phrase may exist within a sentence. For
instance, read the following sentence:
Example 1 He is sleeping on the bed.
The first part of the sentence “He is sleeping” is a clause because it has a
subject and a verb. On the other hand, the remaining part of the sentence,
“on the bed” is a phrase because it lacks both the subject and the verb.
Is the first part of the sentence “The principal smiled” a clause? YES! It is
a clause because it has a subject – The principal and a verb – smiled.
4
Can a phrase stand alone?
It cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it does not give a
complete meaning. For instance, in the above sentence ‘on the bed’ cannot
stand alone as sentence as it does not give a complete meaning. The
purpose of phrase is to complement the overall structure of a sentence.

Note that the predicate always contains a verb. Sometimes, in fact, the
predicate is only a verb:

So, we can say that a sentence must contain at least a subject and verb.
