The researcher found that there are eighteen noun phrase, verb phrase appeared in five, adjective phrase appeared in six, and prepositional phrase appeared in one. Among these, noun phrases were the most prevalent, highlighting the need for awareness regarding grammatical accuracy in social media communication.
