An object phrase is a phrase where the main word is a noun with other words that describe the noun.
Formation of Noun Phrase
The phrases of objects can be formed by arrangement of words like the following:
1. Article + Noun
a) Indifinite Article + Noun
In the previous material I explained about indifinite articles and Noun Phrase can be formed by the existence of the article a and an before the noun.
Example:
a girl an apple a university
The series of words a girl is a noun phrase, a explains the noun girl; girl is the main word (headword) in the phrase, a is the word that describes the word girl.
b) Difinite Article + Noun
the definition of the Definite article is the article.
Example:
the house the book the boys the pens
The string of words above him is the phrase object. The describes house nouns, book, boys, and pens. House words, book, boys, pens are the main words and "the" explains the main words.
2. Demonstrative Adjective + Noun
It has also been explained that some demonstrative adjective words include the words of this, these, that, and those.
Example:
This song is that those who say that strangers are tragedies this liquid
3. Possessesive Adjective + Noun and Possessive noun + noun
What is meant by possessive adjective are words that express the owner of something, for example my, your, his, her, its, our, their, jean's, Mr.Jones', etc.
Example:
Her computers your ideas Toni's pen
4. Numerals (number words)
Numerals are defined as one, two, three, ten, etc.
Example:
two women (= two women) Four members (= four members) Three books (= three books)
5. Quantifier + noun
Is a word that states the number of objects, for example some, any, much, many, a lot of, few, a little, etc.
Example:
some brothers much money many pencils
6. Adjective + Noun
Adejective (= Adjective) is a word that describes an object in other words explaining the nature of the object. Adjective example; big (big), tall (tall), old (old), far (far), angry (angry), sad (sad), etc.
big houses tall men clever students
the word "big" is an adjective that clarifies the noun "houses"
other ways of forming a noun phrase include:
Article + adjective + noun (example: a tall man, the angry birg, etc.)
In the example of "a tall man", the word "a" is the article, the word "tall" is adjective, all these words describe "man".
Article + Adverb + adjective + noun (example; a really nice vacation)
In the "a really nice vacation" noun phrase, the word "a" is an article, "really" is an adverb, "nice" is adjective, all these words describe the noun "vacation"
Quantifier + adjective + noun
Example:
some pretty girls a few new pens
the word "some" is a quantifier, "pretty" is an adjective, all the words describe the noun "girls"
