A phrase is group of words that occur together in a sentence but does not have complete meaning of a sentence. A phrase is always missing either the subject or the verb.
In order to identify a phrase in a sentence always look for words that are occurring together or go together. Make sure that the group of words is not containing the subject or verb in it.
Example:
The young girl slept soundly in the dimly lit room.
In the above sentence, there are three phrases:
The young girl
Slept soundly
Dimly lit room
