What is an intransitive phrase?

There is no grammatical term called "intransitive phrase."

Intransitive refers to a verb that does not take a direct object. For example:

* The bird sings. (Sings does not have a direct object)

Phrase refers to a group of words that acts as a unit within a sentence. There are many different types of phrases, such as noun phrases, verb phrases, prepositional phrases, and adjective phrases.

Example:

* The bird sings beautifully.

In this sentence:

* The bird is a noun phrase.

* sings beautifully is a verb phrase.

* beautifully is an adverbial phrase.

Therefore, there is no "intransitive phrase." The term "intransitive" applies to verbs, while the term "phrase" applies to groups of words.
