Educational worksheet on phrases and clauses for language learning.

Let's solve the worksheet step by step, based on the definitions provided:

> Phrase: A group of words that works together but does not have a subject and predicate.
> Clause: A group of words that has a subject and a predicate (a verb).

---

Part A: Write "phrase" or "clause" to identify each group of words

1. I enjoy living in this town.
- This has a subject ("I") and a predicate ("enjoy living in this town").
✔ Clause

2. near friendly, helpful neighbours
- No subject or verb; just a prepositional phrase describing location.
✔ Phrase

3. from the nearest ocean
- Prepositional phrase showing direction or origin. No subject or verb.
✔ Phrase

4. since they moved to Ohio
- Contains subject ("they") and verb ("moved"), so it’s a dependent clause (it starts with "since", which is a subordinating conjunction).
✔ Clause

5. between a rushing stream on a slope
- Describes location; no subject or verb.
✔ Phrase

6. we built a cabin.
- Subject ("we"), verb ("built"), object ("a cabin"). Complete thought.
✔ Clause

7. in the huge stone fireplace
- Prepositional phrase indicating location. No subject or verb.
✔ Phrase

Part B: Write each sentence. Add the kind of word group named in parentheses

8. When I grow up, _____________________. (clause)
- We need to complete the sentence with a clause (must have subject and verb).
Example: *When I grow up, I will become a doctor.*
✔ Answer: *I will become a doctor.*

9. I want to live ________________. (phrase)
- We need to add a phrase, not a full clause. So, no subject or verb.
Example: *I want to live near the beach.*
✔ Answer: *near the beach*

10. _________________ I will shop (clause)
- The blank must be filled with a clause (subject + verb), because the second part is already a clause ("I will shop").
Example: *After I finish work, I will shop.*
✔ Answer: *After I finish work,*

🔍 Explanation Summary:

- Phrases are groups of words without a subject and verb — often used as modifiers.
- Clauses contain both a subject and a verb and can stand alone (independent) or depend on another clause (dependent).
- In sentence completion, make sure to match the required type: phrases for descriptive additions, clauses for full thoughts.
