What you need to know
To achieve 100+ you need to recognise and use noun phrases.
- A noun phrase includes the noun and any adjectives to describe it. A noun phrase gives detail to a noun. The determiner is part of the noun phrase.
- Information about the noun can appear in front of or after the noun, or in both places.
- A noun phrase can contain more than nouns, adjectives and determiners. The very small creature in the box is a noun phrase, and it contains an adverb (very) and a prepositional phrase (in the box). All the 'extra' words tell us more about the noun creature.
