Phrases are words or group of words within sentence that can discriminate by their type and function. I will explain 3 parts of phrase including their definition, their types and how to discriminate them both in old type (emphasize on grammar structure) and new type (emphasize on easy to remember). I will start with the definition of phrases.

after [he] went home, and how [he] got sick and all, and what school [he’s] supposed to go to next fall, after [he gets] out of here, but [he doesn’t] feel like it."

Although writers across the nation may have been taught similar features of style and therefore produce similar products, they may choose to use or disregard those

The first primary theme is made up in large by a parallel period. The antecedent begins on measure 1 and continues to measure 4.

Mathematics is its own language, and no matter what language a mathematician speaks, his ideas will be understood by all dialects.

However, a few methods outlined by BOSTES (2016) to achieve this fluency are inquiry, exploring and communication

Reading through it, my argument was properly thought out, but contained partial sentences and confusing phrases. After reading Kate Brennan’s “Floating” again, I was able to draw from additional paragraphs that supported my original thesis.
