(Grammar) phrase that can act as the subject or function as object of a verb
In
grammatical theory, a noun phrase (abbreviated NP) is a
phrase whose
head is a
noun or a
pronoun, optionally accompanied by a set of modifiers. The modifiers may be:
determiners:
articles (the, a),
demonstratives (this, that),
numerals (two, five, etc.),
possessives (my, their, etc.), and
quantifiers (some, many, etc.); in English, determiners are usually placed before the noun;
adjectives (the red ball); or
complements, in the form of an
adpositional phrase (such as: the man with a black hat), or a
relative clause (the books that I bought yesterday).
