English Plain And Simple

(2101 of a series)

TO establish context or give texture to a main clause, we typically use a phrase to modify it. This modifying phrase commonly takes one of these five forms — a prepositional phrase, appositive phrase, infinitive phrase, gerund phrase, or participial phrase. Such phrases work in either of two ways: as an adjective modifying a noun in the main clause, or as an adverb modifying a verb in that clause.
