1. Phrases:
* "Running quickly" - This is a phrase describing an action, but it lacks a subject. It doesn't tell us *who* is running quickly.
* "The big red ball" - This is a noun phrase describing an object, but it doesn't contain a verb. It doesn't tell us what the ball is *doing*.
2. Incomplete Sentences:
* "Because I was tired" - This is a dependent clause, which needs an independent clause to form a complete sentence. It doesn't express a complete thought.
* "Went to the store" - This is a verb phrase without a subject. We don't know *who* went to the store.
3. Sentences with Grammatical Errors:
* "Him went to the park" - This uses the incorrect pronoun case for "him." The correct sentence would be "He went to the park."
