This is what I got from reviewing phrases: - Noun phrase: If it can be replaced by the word “This”, it’s a noun phrase - Verb phrase: If you see a helping verb (will, would, can, could, may, must, do, did, is, am, are, was, were, should, etc.) followed by a main/normal verb, it’s verb phrase - Adverb phrase: The phrase can be erased from the sentence. It describes the time, place, frequency, manner, or purpose - Adjective phrase: The phrase can be erased from the sentence. If it’s not adverbial then it’s this.

So prepositional phrases can be adverb or adjective phrases? But they only work as adjectives or adverbs right? We can't consider them as adjective or adverb phrases in themselves please tell me if I am wrong
Sir, Could you please recommend me this book where these exercises has been taken from? Or could you please send the these exercises so that I can solve.
Hey, this really helped me out! Just a question, in the exercise 8 isn't "To study veterinary medicine" a prepositional phrase? Because "To" is the preposition and medicine the noun? Thanks and please help me with this😩
Isabella hinojosa No, the word "to" followed by a verb like "study" is part of an infinitive phrase. The noun "medicine" is a direct object to the verb study (yes, infinitives can take direct objects, super confusing I know)
“Favorite” can be an adjective. Here it is a noun modified by the adjective phrase “of all the rolls.” “Batch” is a predicate nominative. See my video on those for more information.
Hello Robert, thank you for the video. I am wondering whether the same phrase can have a different function? You mentioned that a phrase at the beginning of a sentence is adverbial. In this sentence, "At the party, the boy was sick.", the phrase "At the party", is an adverb phrase. If I shift the phrase to "The boy, at the party, was sick.", does it then become an adjective phrase describing the boy?
Yes. You are right. in the first case, "at the party" tells us where the boy was sick. In the second case, "at the party" identifies which boy we are talking about.
When the example of the veterinarian came up i remembered Scott McCall from teen wolf. I wonder if he is ever be coming one tho they did not Tell anything about how they are going to continue their life and job etc.
Hello. Can you please enlighten me with the item number 5 on adverb phrase? How did AdvP modify the verb have? It doesn't answer anything. Please help me understand. Thanks
Mj Ustaris yeah, it's confusing because the name adverb makes it sound like they can modify only verbs. In fact, adverbs and adverb phrases can also modify adjectives like helpful. Adverb phrases can even modify other adverbs like helpfully
sir im little bit confused here in the 4 sentence the underlined sentence describing bread so is the underlined sentence prepositional or adjective phrase?
Officially awesome "when" is not typically used as a preposition. It is most commonly a subordinating conjunction that introduces an adverb clause as it does in number 1. See my videos on clauses for more information. The only time "when" will be a preposition is before a gerund. For example, "when swimming" would be an adverb prepositional phrase. Although even the. A person might argue that there is an implied subject and verb in such a construction like "when you are swimming"
