Answer:
<u>Subordinate</u>
Explanation:
A verbal phrase is a phrase containing modifiers or objects of a verb form, plus that verb form that does not act as a verb in the sentence but as another part of speech like an adjective, noun, or adverb. There are three types: Infinitive phrases, which can act as nouns, adverbs or adjectives, gerund phrases, which work as nouns, and participle phrases, which act as adjectives.
<u>Subordinates</u>, better known as subordinate clauses, do not enter into that category. Instead, they are groups of related words containing a subject and a verb whose function is to modify or complement a main or independent clause.
