OpenStudy (butterflydreamer):

An adjective phrase is a group of words that DESCRIBE a noun or pronoun in a sentence. The adjective phrase can be placed before, or after, the noun or pronoun in the sentence. An adverb phrase is simply two or more words that act as an adverb. It can modify a verb, adverb, or adjective and can tell “how”, “where”, “why”, or “when.” A misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is improperly separated from the word it modifies / describes. Therefore it sounds awkward or strange. An appositive is a noun, a noun phrase, or a noun clause which sits next to another noun to rename it or to describe it in another way.
