A sentence is a group of words to express an idea. This thing you're reading right now is a sentence. Sentences can be long or short.
A phrase is a grouping of words smaller than a sentence. They are usually between 1-8 words. A phrase cannot be a sentence alone in most cases.
Example:
Phrase -> Red dog
Sentence-> The red dog is sleeping.
Phrase -> butter-face
Sentence-> What does the phrase "butter-face" mean?
Common phrases/ figures of speech: a million to one, green-eyed monster, yellow-bellied, Valley Girl
