Is before we went a phrase?

"Before we went" is not a complete phrase, but it's a phrase fragment.

It's missing a verb to be a complete sentence. Here are some examples of how you could complete the phrase:

* Before we went, we packed our bags.

* Before we went to the party, we bought a gift.

* Before we went home, we had dinner at the restaurant.

In these examples, "Before we went" is acting as a prepositional phrase that modifies the verb in the main clause.
