An adverbial phrase is a group of words that together function like an adverb. For example: I'll run the race quickly. (using a simple adverb) I'll run the race in a few days. (using an adverbial phrase) The word "quickly" in the first sentence is a simple adverb. It modifies the word "run," which is the verb. (modify just means to change the meaning of something... so with verbs, adverbs modify them by telling how?, in what way?, when?, where?, and to what extent?.) In this case quickly is telling HOW I will run. In the second sentence, "in a few days" is the adverbial phrase. It is a group of words functioning as an adverb by telling WHEN I will RUN.
