Main Difference – Phrase vs. Sentence
Phrase
and sentence are common structures in any language and are made up of a group
of words. A phrase is a short or long group of words that does not convey a
complete thought. A sentence is also a group of words, but it conveys a
complete thought. This is the main difference between phrase and sentence.
A. Phrase
A phrase is a group of words that
does not convey a complete thought. As phrases do not express a complete idea,
they can’t stand alone. They can only be used as parts of sentences. It lacks a
subject or a verb or in some cases both. Therefore, it cannot form a predicate.
In the English language, there are five main kinds of phrases. They are :
a)
Noun
Phrase: gives information about the noun
Examples:
a cute baby, an old lady, many of the theories, a hot summer day, some
teachers, etc.
b)
Verb
Phrase: gives more meaning to the verb
Examples:
She has been eating, was walking, had to be hospitalized, singing a song etc.
c)
Adjective
Phrase: gives information about the adjective
Examples:
very pretty, terribly long, not very
healthy, exquisite handmade
d)
Adverb
Phrase: gives information about the adverb.
Examples:
slowly and surely, formerly, beautifully, etc.
e)
Prepositional
Phrase: gives information about a time, location
or condition. A preposition always appears at the front of the phrase.
Examples:
down the road, after a long time, beside the lake, on the table, etc.
B. Sentence
A sentence refers to a group of
words that expresses a complete thought. A sentence necessarily contains a
subject and a verb. There are four types of sentences. They are as follows :
a)
Declarative
Sentence
Declarative
sentences state information and facts. A declarative sentence ends with a full
stop. This article is mainly written in declarative sentences.

b)
Imperative
Sentence
Imperative
sentences issue commands or orders or they can express wishes or desires. These
sentences can contain a single word, or they can be lengthier.
Example:
Stop!
Be Silent!
Turn left and go straight.
c)
Interrogative
Sentence
Interrogative
sentences ask a question. They are easy to understand as they contain a
question mark at the end.
Example:
Are you crazy?
Is it raining?
Did you go to school yesterday?
d)
Exclamatory
Sentence
Exclamatory
sentences express emotions or excitement. They end with exclamation marks.
Example:
I won the first place!
It’s a surprise!

single clause or several clauses. Sentence structures are classified according
to these clauses.
