Do Phrases Have Subjects?

Phrases: A phrase is a group of words that does not have a subject and verb. A phrase cannot therefore be a complete idea or a complete sentence by itself.

Does a phrase have a subject and predicate?

Words can be grouped together, but without a subject or a verb. This is called a phrase. Because a phrase has neither subject nor verb, it can't form a 'predicate'. This is a structure that must contain a verb, and it tells you something about what the subject is doing.

How do you find the subject of a phrase?

The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something. You can find the subject of a sentence if you can find the verb. Ask the question, "Who or what 'verbs' or 'verbed'?" and the answer to that question is the subject.
