A phrase is a related group of words that functions as a part of speech and
does not contain both a subject and a verb. ➲ Verb phrases do not contain a subject. Examples of verb phrases

➲ Prepositional phrases, such as the adjective phrase and the adverb
phrase, do not have a subject or a verb. Examples of prepositional

➲ Participial phrases function as adjectives. In the sentence, ��Walking
home after the movie, Joe felt happy,�� the participial phrase is
Walking home after the movie, and the participle is Walking.

➲ Gerund phrases function as nouns. Gerund phrases can be used as
subjects, predicate nominatives, direct objects, indirect objects, and
objects of the preposition. In the sentence, ��Walking home from the
movies was a good time for Joe and his friends,�� the gerund phrase used
as a subject is Walking home from the movies.

➲ Infinitive phrases function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. In the
sentence, ��To beat the old record was Nina�s goal,�� the infinitive phrase
is To beat the old record, and the infinitive is To beat.

➲ Appositive phrases describe or identify another noun or pronoun
in the sentence. In the sentence, ��Lake Harris, our favorite vacation
spot, is off the beaten path,�� the appositive is spot, and the appositive

    Tomato Paste

    Tomatoes are the number one source of lycopene in the American diet, and cooking them makes this vital antioxidant up to four times more bioavailable, so tomato paste is actually higher in usable lycopene than fresh tomatoes. Just a tablespoon of tomato paste contains 4,602 mcg of lycopene.
    Tomato paste is also a surprisingly good source of fiber and protein, vitamins A and C, and potassium.
