These sentences are not phrases and neither are the bolded words. Pls read the definition of a phrase and a clause below.

To understand punctuation, it is
helpful to understand the difference
between a phrase and a clause .
I. A phrase is a collection of words
that may have nouns or verbals, but
it does not have a subject doing a
verb. The following are examples of
phrases:
leaving behind the dog
smashing into a fence
before the first test
after the devastation
between ignorance and intelligence
broken into thousands of pieces
because of her glittering smile
In these examples above, you will
find nouns (dog, fence, test,
devastation, ignorance, intelligence,
thousands, pieces). You also have
some verbals ( leaving, smashing),
but in no case is the noun
functioning as a subject doing a
predicate verb. They are all phrases.
II . A clause is a collection of words
that has a subject that is actively
doing a verb. The following are
examples of clauses:
since she laughs at diffident men
I despise individuals of low character
when the saints go marching in
Obediah Simpson is uglier than a
rabid raccoon
because she smiled at him.
In the examples above, we find
either a noun or a pronoun that is a
subject (bold-print and red)
attached to a predicate verb
(underlined and purple) in each
case:
since she laughs at diffident men
I despise individuals of low character
when the saints go marching in
Obediah Simpson is uglier than a
rabid raccoon
because she smiled at him
III. If the clause could stand by
itself, and form a complete sentence
with punctuation, we call the clause
an independent clause . The
following are independent clauses:
I despise individuals of low character
Obediah Simpson is uglier than a
rabid racoon
We could easily turn independent
clauses into complete sentences by
adding appropriate punctuation
marks. We might say, "I despise
individuals of low character." Or we
might write, "Obediah Simpson is
uglier than a rabid racoon!" We call
them independent because these types
of clauses can stand independently by
themselves, without any extra
words attached, and be complete
sentences.
IV. Dependent clauses have a
subject doing a verb, but they have
a subordinate conjunction placed in
front of the clause. That subordinate
conjunction means that the clause
can't stand independently by itself
and become a complete sentence.
Instead, the dependent clause is
dependent upon another clause--it
can't make a complete sentence by
itself, even though it has a subject
doing a verb. Here are some
examples of dependent clauses:
since she laughs at diffident men
when the saints go marching in
because she smiled at him
These clauses simply do not form
complete thoughts or sentences by
themselves. Those subordinate
conjunctions-- since , when , and
because-- cause the listener to expect
some extra material. The thought is
incomplete. If you walked up to a
friend in the dorms and said, "since
she laughs at diffident men," and
then walked away without adding
an independent clause, the friend
would be completely baffled.
It's important to understand the
difference between phrases,
dependent clauses, and independent
clauses because many punctuation
marks--such as commas, semicolons,
and colons, require one or the other.
