What
is a phrase? A
phrase is a group of words that are related and focus on an idea; however,
this group of words does not have a subject, a verb, or both.
See the examples below:
Take
a look at this sentence:
Pick
it up. Is this a sentence fragment? It is NOT a sentence fragment because it is a command. Commands have an implied subject. We assume the speaker (or writer) means You pick it up. Though you is not written, it is implied.
