What is a "noun phrase"?

A noun phrase is a group of words that functions as a noun in a sentence. It typically consists of a main noun, known as the head word, along with any modifiers that describe or provide additional information about the noun. Modifiers can include adjectives, determiners, and prepositional phrases. For example, in the phrase "the small brown dog," "dog" is the head noun, while "the," "small," and "brown" modify it to provide more detail. Noun phrases can serve various grammatical roles, such as subjects, objects, or complements in a sentence. Understanding noun phrases is important for constructing clear and descriptive sentences, as they help convey specific meanings and enhance the overall richness of language.
