    Simple Noun Phrases

    What is a simple noun phrase?


    A simple noun phrase is a group of words that includes a noun at its head - the noun
    is the main word in the phrase and other words give information about it.
    The examples in the boxes:

    his toy those shoes the house two children

    These examples of simple noun phrases all contain a determiner and a noun
    noun.
    Example sentences:
    Bring your children with you.
    Come inside the house
    house.
    Can you put those shoes away?
    In these sentences, the noun phrases have been underlined.

    Remember…
    A phrase is not a sentence. A phrase does not express a complete thought, whereas a
    sentence does. A sentence contains a subject (noun or pronoun) and a predicate (verb or
    verb phrase). A phrase does not have both of these - sometimes, it doesn’t have either.

    Read the following sentences. Underline or circle the simple noun phrases in each sentence.

    Early in the morning, a parrot landed


    1 The girl played at the park. 6 on the balcony.

    2 “My leg hurts!” shouted the boy. 7 Whose coat is this?

    3 That’s his bike over there. 8 That’s his bike over there.

    4 Three cats sat on the fence. 9 Their house is in Manchester.

    An elephant was walking through


    5 the forest.
    10 The car splashed through the puddle.
