NOUN PHRASE

Diposting oleh Lauricka Prahesty di 03.52

noun phrases is other a single noun or any group of words containing noun or a pronoun that function together as a noun or pronoun, as the subject or object of averb.

For example, ‘they’ , ‘books’, and ‘the books’, are noun phrases, but ‘book’ is just a noun, as you can see in these sentences (in which the noun phrases are all in bold)

- Structure of Noun Phrases:
• A beautiful old painting on the wall

When you use a noun in front of another noun, you never put adjectives between them, you put adjectives in front of the first noun.
Example : We just spoke with a young American boy
Noun phrase can be in form of gerund (base + ing) or gerund and other nouns compounding.
Example : Passing the exam watching TV


Example:
- My coach is happy.
-I like the cars over there.
-The woman who lives there is my aunt.
-Frankenstein is the name of the scientist not the monster.
-I consider Meong my favorite cat.
-Small children often insist that they can do it by themselves.
-To read quickly and accurately is John’s goal.
-Two of my guests have arrived.
-Mr. Jones spoke to Dr. James .
-My friend works with her father.
-Alex is a smart tall white boy.
-It's a beautiful red car.
-Mr. Aldy has just bought an expensive large house.
