Explanation:

1. An infinitive phrase combines an infinitive word, (e.g. to) and a verb, modifier or complement. In the first sentence, To look is the infinitive phrase.

2. Prepositional phrases contain a preposition, a noun or pronoun object of the preposition and a modifier.

3. The appositive is placed before a noun so as to provide further information about it. In sentence 3, on the table tells us where the plants were situated.

4. A gerund is a noun formed from a verb, with the addition of -ing. A gerund phrase is a gerund with additional words that can serve as the noun in the sentence. Catching the ball is the gerund phrase in sentence 4.

5. A participle phrase looks like a gerund phrase but the difference is that the participle phrase modifies a verb. In sentence 5, the participle phrase modifies the verb, took.
