purposes to develop a good paragraph.If you understand the lesson, identifying words or
group of words will be easy and enjoyable.
Preparing you for the actitivies in this module, you need to understand deeply the
concepts of phrases, clauses and sentences: its kinds, uses and purposes. Let’s try now!
Enjoy the adventure and excitement in this learning journey.
What’s In
To understand fully the new lesson, you need to recall some lessons in the past. Let
us talk about the terms and definitions of phrases, clauses and sentences. Examples of
phrases, clauses, and sentences are given to help you remember the concepts.
A. PHRASE
A phrase is a group of related words that does not have subject and a predicate. A
phrase performs the function of a single part of speech. It can be found at the beginning,
middle or end of a sentence. A phrase may not contain a subject or a verb or both. Thus, a
phrase may have meaning but it does not convey a complete thought.
Examples:
1. The employees are tired, miserable and hungry.
2. The adjective phrases are tired, miserable and hungry modifying employees.
3. Beyond the field, a river flowed to the sea.
The adverb phrase beyond the field modifies the verb flowed.
Directions: Underline the phrase and draw an arrow to the word it modifies.
4
______5. The mother hugged her daughter very gently.
B. CLAUSE
A clause is a group of words with at least a subject and a verb. Clause can be
independent (main) or dependent (subordinate) clause.
Examples:
Independent clause Dependent clause
2. When the paintings were featured at the museum, the artists were grateful and thrilled
at the same time.
Directions: Match the independent clause with the dependent clause to form a complete
sentence. Write your answers on your paper.
5
Examples:
1. I prepare my study corner in our house because face to face learning is not
allowed yet.
phrase phrase
Directions: Put a in the box if the following group of words expressed complete
1. For a second.
2. Our goal is zero non-readers.
3. In that way.
4. Just about three weeks.
5. Observe social distancing in public places.
Knowing phrases and clauses lead you to understand how to put them together to form
sentences. Be in oral or written communication. You should observe the importance of using
correct phrases and clauses to come up with a sentence that clearly conveyed its ideas. Let’s
dig deeper on it on the next part.
What’s New

Group of words Identificaton (PHRASES, CLAUSES or SENTENCES)
What is it
Aside from knowing the definition of Phrases, Clauses and Sentences, it is better to
familiarize yourself with its kind, types, and purposes. This will help you develop a deeper
awareness in categorizing group of words and later you can use them in expressing your
thoughts.
A. TYPES OF PHRASE
ADJECTIVE PHRASE
An adjective phrase, also called an adjectival phrase is a group of related words in
which the main word is an adjective and which functions like an adjective in sentence or
clause.
Examples:
1. The story was not too terrible.
The adjective phrase not too terrible modifying story.
ADVERB PHRASE
An adverb phrase also called an adverbial phrase or adverbial, is a group of related
words in which the main word is an adverb and which functions like an adverb in a
sentence or clause.
7
Examples:
1. They live very close.
The adverb phrase very close modifying live.
B. KINDS OF CLAUSE
In the first example, the subordinating conjunction which was placed before
inspired me to write a story creates a word group – which inspired me to write a story –
that cannot stand alone as a main clause. Although the clause has a subject and a
predicate, it does not express a complete thought. In the second example, the
subordinating conjunction because introduced the dependent clause. Though the clause
has a subject and a predicate, because she is an excellent newscaster cannot, however,
stand alone.
NOTE:
Subordinating conjunctions introduce dependent clauses and connect them to
independent clauses.
Dependent clauses are introduced by subordinating conjunctions such as
although, even though, if, as if, who, until, whether, whose, unless, that, while,
before, since, however, whenever, because, whom and which.
8
If a clause begins with one of these words, it is dependent and needs to be attached
to an independent clause.
Dependent clauses joined with independent clauses.
NOTE:
Do not be confused in identifying Idea and Opinion. Remember, an Idea is a mental
concept. It may be true or false or even totally impossible. An Opinion is a person’s reaction
to an idea, expressed in terms of approve / disapprove. Take a look on this example:
“I have an idea that all family members should undergo a Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT)
on COVID-19. Now tell me your opinion, what do you feel about my idea?”

them. Fill in the empty boxes with correct answers to complete the graphic organizer.
