\n\n\n\n

Explanation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the sentence “The garden was full of red roses,”<\/strong> the phrase to underline is “full of red roses.”<\/strong> To understand why, let\u2019s break down what a phrase<\/strong> is and how to identify it in this sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A phrase<\/strong> is a group of words that work together as a single part of speech but do not contain both a subject and a verb<\/strong>. Phrases add meaning to sentences by functioning as nouns, verbs, adjectives, or adverbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several types of phrases, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Noun phrases<\/strong> (e.g., the red car<\/em>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Verb phrases<\/strong> (e.g., is running<\/em>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Prepositional phrases<\/strong> (e.g., in the park<\/em>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Adjective phrases<\/strong> (e.g., full of energy<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    In our sentence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    “The garden was full of red roses.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • “The garden”<\/strong> is the subject (a noun phrase).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • “Was”<\/strong> is the verb (linking verb).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • “Full of red roses”<\/strong> is a phrase<\/strong> that functions as a subject complement<\/strong>\u2014it describes the state of “the garden.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Let\u2019s analyze “full of red roses”<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • “Full”<\/strong> is an adjective.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • “Of red roses”<\/strong> is a prepositional phrase<\/strong> that modifies “full” by telling us what<\/em> the garden was full of.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Together, “full of red roses”<\/strong> forms an adjective phrase<\/strong>, describing the garden\u2019s condition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        So, the entire group of words “full of red roses”<\/strong> is acting as a descriptive unit and should be underlined<\/strong> as the phrase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        It\u2019s important not to confuse a phrase with a clause. A clause<\/strong> has both a subject and a verb, while a phrase does not<\/strong>. Since \u201cfull of red roses\u201d has no verb, it qualifies as a phrase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Final Underlined Phrase:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        \u2705 full of red roses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
