An absolute phrase is a set of two or more words that includes a noun and a modifier and modifies a sentence. It typically adds additional detail or context to the sentence, often indicating a circumstance or condition related to the action of the verb. Absolute phrases are not grammatically connected to the main clause but provide descriptive information that enhances the meaning. For example, in the sentence "Her hands trembling, she opened the letter," "Her hands trembling" is an absolute phrase that adds context to the action of opening the letter.
