around nine o'clock is it a phrase or an independent clause or a dependent clause

4 answers

Clauses have subjects and verb. No subject, no verb here; therefore, it has to be a phrase.
A phrase because it acts as like a noun. for example someone can ask you what time is it and you can answer with the phrase "around 9 o'clock"
Jahnay - this phrase is not acting as a noun.

It's a prepositional phrase, acting as an adverb, telling when about the verb.
oh ok
