How do I call a method from a different class?

How do I access a method that comes from a different class? I am within the "Game" class now where getRandomPhrase() method was created and that works. addPhraseToDisplay method was created in a different class than I currently am in called "Phrase" and I keep getting an error when I try to call it in the "Game" class within the startGame function.

  startGame() {
  const overlay = document.getElementById("overlay");
  overlay.style.display = "none";
  this.getRandomPhrase();
  this.addPhraseToDisplay();
  }
}

If this code is part of the "Game" class, then this would refer to a "Game" object. To call the other class method, you need to refer to that other class.

To make a more explicit answer possible, can you share the whole code (perhaps as a snapshot)?
