Which is different from an expression or phrase?
I’m trying to decide what I should be using and realized I did not know the difference between these terms.
What are different ways in which an expression is more like a saying?
and you don’t expect someone to actually tell you how he is doing? Back, because it means little more than “hello”, it should repeat.
A phrase is just any sequence of words, usually less than a sentence.
- rip them out
- even the Aztec women
- before the Spaniards
- reloading muskets
- because they could never have continued their rituals without capturing large numbers of enemy soldiers (this one is dubious, because “clause” would be a more specific and hence better name)
A great many expressions are also phrases, like put behind bars or heaven forbid.
