I have to construct a sentence using a “phrase.” Can you guys give me an example?
Because I’m confused on what a phrase in grammar is exactly. Just give me a sentence that starts with one and I’ll be fine. Thanks.

It is a group of related words that help you understand some other word in the sentence better.
The prepositional phrase is common. It starts with a preposition and ends with a noun or pronoun and modifies some other word in the sentence.
Prepositions: over, under, around, into, by , near etc.
Phrase: over the lake.
Sentence with phrase: The boy jumped over the lake. It is an adverb phrase because it modifies the verb jumped. It helps explain something about jumped.

It all depends on what phrase you want/need to use. One example:
The laptop computer I bought was a “plug and play” solution, meaning I didn’t need to install any hardware or software to get started.
Other common phrases you might consider:
“out of the box”
“nip and tuck”
“best of the bunch”
You get the idea, right?

Whenever I hear the phrase “most unique”, I wince at the mangling of the language
