An “infinitive” is a verb’s basic/base form that comes after the word “to”. The word “to” plus a “non-conjugated verb” (base verb) forms an “infinitive verb”. In a sentence, “infinitive verbs” can be used as “nouns, adverbs, or adjectives”. A set of words with “complements, modifiers, or both” that start with an infinitive constitute an “infinitive phrase”. Complements in “infinitive phrases” are typically “direct objects”. Adjectives, articles, objects, and adverbs are examples of modifiers. E.g., Let’s meet to see the new miracle film — “complement: film”, “modifier: the new miracle” and “infinitive verb: to see”.

“Noun phrase” — a “collection of words” that operate as the “subject, object, noun or prepositional object” in a sentence and contain a “noun, pronoun or both”. “Noun phrase” can occasionally be a “prepositional phrase”.

A verb phrase is a collection of words that, aside from the subject, consists of “a main verb” or “a main verb plus any auxiliary verbs“. “Auxiliary verb ‘be’ and a main verb in the -ing form” is a type of “verb phrase”. The irregular verb ‘be’ having eight alternative forms: be, am, is, are, was, were, being, and been.

A “noun or pronoun” that directly receives a verb’s action is called a “direct object”. The “indirect object” receives the action straight from the “direct object” rather than from the verb itself.

A preposition denotes a word or set of words that indicate relationships with other sentence components and is placed before a “noun, pronoun, or noun phrase”. Prepositions can be used to introduce a variety of sentence components, such as “pronouns, gerunds, noun phrases, prepositions, clauses, and adverbs” in addition to nouns.

A “particle” in grammar is a word that does not belong in the standard set of eight parts of speech, which are the following: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, interjection, and conjunction.

A “noun or pronoun” that follows a preposition is known as a “prepositional object”. A “prepositional phrase” is a collection of words that “includes a preposition at the beginning”, “includes the prepositional object”, and “may include additional words that change the object”. Prepositional objects such as “adjective, noun, pronoun, adverb and verb” is modified or described in “prepositional phrases”.

A collection of words, including adjective, that modify a “noun or pronoun” in the same way as an adjective — is known as an “adjectival phrase”. An “adjective phrase” is also one that has both a verb/adverb and an adjective in it.

 A “group of words” that includes “noun, adverb, or adjective” and that performs the roles of an adverb is called an “adverb phrase”. Any word that characterizes or modifies a “verb, adjective, or other adverb” is called an “adverb”.
