    PHRASES
    A phrase is a group of related words that lacks both a subject and a predicate. Because it lacks a subject and a predicate it cannot act as a sentence.

    Like a noun, a noun phrase can act as a subject, as the object of a verb or verbal, as a subject or object complement, or as the object of a preposition, as in the following ... 

    Subject

    Small children often insist that they can do it by themselves.

    Object of a verb

    Object of a preposition
