Question

example of absolute phrase

Answer 1

An absolute phrase modifies the entire sentence and provides additional detail about a noun, typically consisting of a noun and a participle along with any modifiers. It is often set off from the rest of the sentence by commas.

Here’s an example:

**"The sun setting behind the mountains, we decided to start our hike."**

In this sentence, "The sun setting behind the mountains" is the absolute phrase that gives more context about the situation during the hike.
