Explanation:
But noun phrases can also include:
determiners: Those houses are very expensive.
quantifiers: I've lived in a lot of houses.
numbers: My brother owns two houses.
adjectives: I love old houses.
These parts of the noun phrase are called premodifiers because they go before the noun.
We use premodifiers in this order:
determiners and quantifiers > numbers > adjectives + NOUNS
For example:
Determiners and quantifiers Numbers Adjectives NOUNS
The six children
Our young children
Six young children
These six young children
Some young children
All those six young children
Their many young children

Other parts of a noun phrase go after the noun. These are called postmodifiers.
Postmodifiers can be:
prepositional phrases:

the boy talking to Angela
relative clauses :
the man we met yesterday
the house that Jack built
the woman who discovered radium
an eight-year-old boy who attempted to rob a sweet shop
that clauses. These are very common after nouns like idea, fact, belief, suggestion:

Explanation:
There was a strong wind last night.
Here is used in a situation where a person is close to the object (noun). 'There' is opposite of here in the sense that 'there' is used when the noun is away from the person. To specify the a geographical location (place), there is used.
Similarly, 'this' is used when the object is very close to the person.
