                1.5.1. Phrase
                A phrase is a group of words that work together but do not form a complete sentence because they lack a subject or a
                verb (or both).
                Types of phrases:

                Noun Phrase: A phrase centered around a noun.
                Example: "the big house".
                Verb Phrase: A phrase centered around a verb.
                Example: "is running fast".

                Adjective Phrase: A phrase that describes a noun or pronoun.
                Example: "very tall for his age".
                Adverb Phrase: A phrase that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb.
                Example: "in a hurry".
                Prepositional Phrase: A phrase starting with a preposition and followed by a noun or pronoun.

                Example: "under the table".

                Let us now learn about each of them in detail.

                Simple Sentence
                A simple sentence is one with only one subject and one predicate or one with only one finite verb. For example:
                •   She speaks loudly.
                •   My brother woke up early in the morning.

                •   We won the match.

                Complex Sentence
                A complex sentence is one that contains at least one independent clause and one dependent clause. Complex sentences
                are easy to identify because they frequently use subordinating conjunctions to connect clauses, such as because, since,
                or until. For example:
                •   He is happy since he retired.
