THE NOUN PHRASE

Recognize a noun phrase when you find one.

A noun phrase includes a nounȄa person, place, or thingȄand the modifiers that distinguish it. You can find the noun dog in a sentence, for example, but you do not know which canine the writer means until you consider the entire noun phrase: that dog, Aunt Audreyǯs dog, the dog on the sofa, the neighborǯs dog that chases our cat, the dog digging in the new flower bed. Modifiers can come before or after the noun. Ones that come before might include articles, possessive nouns, possessive pronouns, adjectives, and/or participles.

Articles: a dog, the dog

Possessive nouns: Aunt Audreyǯs dog, the neighborǯs dog, the police officerǯs dog

Possessive pronouns: our dog, her dog, their dog

Adjectives: that dog, the big dog, the spotted dog Participles: the drooling dog, the barking dog, the well-trained dog Modifiers that come after the noun might include prepositional phrases, adjective clauses, participle phrases, and/or infinitives. Prepositional phrases: a dog on the loose, the dog in the front seat, the dog behind the fence Adjective clauses: the dog that chases cats, the dog that appears lost, the dog that won the agility championship Participle phrases: the dog whining for a treat, the dog clipped at the grooming salon, the dog walked daily Infinitives: the dog to catch, the dog to train, the dog to adopt

Less frequently, a noun phrase will have a pronoun as its baseȄa word like we, everybody, etc.Ȅand the modifiers that distinguish it.

Read these examples:

We who were green with envy

We = subject pronoun; who were green with envy = modifier.

Someone spoiling for a fight

Someone = indefinite pronoun; spoiling for a fight = modifier.

No one important

No one = indefinite pronoun; important = modifier.quotesdbs_dbs17.pdfusesText_23
