by or through?

Hi,

Is the following sentence correct?

"From Rio to Salvador through the sea shore".

[susiedq]

One travels through the city or through the mountains, but by the sea.

I could also travel along the sea shore to get to the next city.

Hi,

Is the following sentence correct?

"From Rio to Salvador through the sea shore".

First, it is not a "sentence". Without knowing the complete context, perhaps it should be "......from Rio to Salvador by sea". Also the "shore" is a land mass that borders the sea.

So what is it, if not a sentence? a group of words? a passage? a typescript?

A phrase.

And It is an adverbial phrase.

I thought sentence & phrase were synonyms.

I don't think there aren't equivalent definitions of 'phrase' and 'sentence' in your native language. (I'm sure these terms do exist in all languages and they are all understood in the same way.). Therefore I don't think you couldn't differentiate them even in your language.
This helps open my mind. Thanks!

A sentence must contain a finite verb.

"Une phrase" in French is "a sentence" in English. "A phrase" in English is different.
