This was a question that I could not answer in my last Electrical engineering sessional reports. 'How can you check phase and neutral wires?Explain." can anyone please help me answer this?

What exactly do you mean by "check"?

You can check:
Phase to phase
Phase to neutral
Neutral to ground

Results depend on what your checking 208 1p, 208 3p, 240 1p, then there is a 3 phase high leg system.

probably it means "testing". I dont know exactly because it was my first Electrical Engineering sessional and the teachers dont tell everything we ask.

Let me add:
If it's a 3 phase motor, you can look at phase imbalance. Both voltage and current.
