Phrases/sentences.
price is right (phrase)
(Quora definition: Phrases also start with a word that is not a person, place, or thing (often a preposition), and they don’t have a subject and verb:)
But many do have verbs and subjects ? The above example has 'is' and price is the subject.
(Definition: Phrases are extra ideas. They’re not sentences. They must always be attached to a sentence. (?)
(The) price is right. (complete sentence). But that's just a word 'the' not a sentence itself it's attached to.
I'd say they must always 'form' a sentence not attach to sentence.
These are all complete sentences, right. Sort of sound like phrases in the sense that some of them may stand-alone perhaps on an advertisment or similar.
Beckham wows with his skills.
They don't come any better than this.
Back where he belongs.
It's worth every dollar.
Johnny is fleeing the scene.
