A phrase is a group of words acting as one word or one unit, it does not have a subject and a predicate. A phrase does not make a complete sense when it stands by itself. However, when these phrases are combined with other words to form sentences their meaning becomes absolutely clear.

A phrase is lower on the grammatical hierarchy than clauses. Just as words,there are different categories of phrases and it may function as a verb, noun, an adverb or an adjective.
