Hi abhash4gmat,
Additive phrases are modifier phrases that add nouns onto another noun, but additive phrases are not part of the main subject of a sentence.
The boy, in addition to the girls, is participating in the games
The BOY, in addition to the girls, IS participating in the games
The BOYS, in addition to the girls, ARE participating in the games
Additive phrases include:
along with X; in addition to X; as well as X; accompanied by X; together with the X; including X

Hope this helps

in short, we can say that all keywords for additive phrases are idioms.
your question may imply that you are not 100% certain about the meaning of "idioms" and "additive phrases".
Idioms: any group of words that always come together, not following a common grammatical rule or literal translation
examples:
.. literal translation such as : "a piece of cake" ---> means "easy" - "at one's peril" ---> means "at his own risk"
.. grammatical rules as : "as well as" , "more ... than", "rather than", "difference between .. and ", "both .. and"
(so you can't write "both .. as well as" -- "more .. as")
additional phrases:
phrase: is an incomplete clause (don't have a subject and verb"
additional: adds a meaning which is usually not crucial. without it, the meaning is still ok, but with it, the meaning is better.
additional phrase : modifies a noun. The whole phrase acts as an adjective for the noun it modifies. preceded by a comma

keywords: in addition to, accompanied by, along with, as well as , including, together with, ...
(they are idioms, so can't be changed - we can't write "accompanied with")
