I'm not sure what you mean by "grammatical functions". You might be asking what are the functions (uses) of grammar. You might be asking about the functions (uses) of particular grammatical structures. You might be asking about things called "function words" in grammar. Can you be more explicit?

The best way to find out about parts of speech is to look at some of the general grammar pages on the Web. Some good ones are:

An adverbial phrase ia a phrase (group of words) that together acts as an adverb.

An adjectival phrase is a phrase (group of words) that together acts as an adjective.
