what are adittional words used before a Phrase is called ?
I am sorry for the inconvenience but I am unable to understand your query. Which few words are you talking about? Please be more specific so that we could help you further.
A phrase is a small group of words that adds meaning to a word. A phrase is not a sentence because it is not a complete idea with a subject and a predicate and thus, doesn 't make sense completely.
For instance in the following lines, the words in italics form phrases:
- Tell me what to do.
- The elephant leaned against the wall.
- The clouds float in the sky.
Hope this explanation helps you understand clearly the concept of phrase.
