Is went back an adjective phrase?

No, "went back" is not an adjective phrase. Here's why:

* Adjective phrases modify nouns or pronouns. They tell us more about the noun or pronoun they describe.

* "Went back" is a verb phrase. It describes an action (going back).

Example of an adjective phrase:

* "The bright red car" - "bright red" describes the noun "car".

To make "went back" into a phrase that could be used as an adjective, you could use a participle:

* "The gone back path" - This uses the past participle "gone" to describe the noun "path".

Remember: Adjective phrases always describe nouns or pronouns, while verb phrases describe actions or states of being.
