Question

We wrote in our journals for twenty minutes each day. Which type of phrase or clause is underlined in the sentence? adjectival clause adjectival phrase adverbial clause adverbial phrase

Answer 1

I suppose the underlined part is "for twenty minutes each day".

This is an adverbial phrase - a group of words that together have an adverbial function, which means that they modify a verb (in this case, "wrote"), an adjective, or an adverb. Here, the adverbial phrase tells us the time of the action (when did the subject write). This is a phrase and not a clause because it doesn't have a predicate of its own. We can easily replace it with a simple adverb (e.g. early, late, often, soon).
