phrases structure

Phrase structure refers to how words group together to form meaningful parts of a sentence. Think of a phrase as a building block, like a small unit that works together—such as a noun phrase (“the big dog”) or a verb phrase (“is running quickly”). These phrases combine following specific rules to create complete sentences. Understanding phrase structure helps us see how words relate and work together to convey clear meaning, clarifying how sentences are built and how different parts connect to express ideas effectively.
