Explanation

A phrase is a group of words that acts as a single part of speech. It does not have a subject and a predicate, and it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. An appositive phrase is a specific type of phrase that renames or identifies a noun or pronoun that comes before it. It provides additional information about the noun or pronoun, but it is not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Therefore, both a phrase and an appositive phrase can function as a single unit or part of speech.
