Question

Identify the types of phrases in the following sentences-

b. The girl in brown frock is my sister.
i. noun phrase
ii. adjective phrase
iii. adverb phrase
​

Answer 1

IT IS AN ADJECTIVE PHRASE
BROWN FROCK IS THE ADJECTIVE PHRASE

Answer 2

There is both noun and adjective phrase in the sentence.

• An adjective phrase is the one that functions as an adjective, whereas a noun phrase functions as a noun.
• Consequently, a noun phrase serves as an object, subject, or complement in a sentence, but an adjective phrase modifies a noun.
• For example:

1. My elder sister got married yesterday. - Noun Phrase
2. That big old villa is for sale.- Noun Phrase
3. I found a very small pup - Adjective Phrase
4. The play was extremely boring. - Adjective Phrase

• The phrases can be categorised as -  

1. Noun phrase - The girl - ( Girl is the noun in the sentence)
2. Adjective phrase - in brown frock - ( The frock being brown in colour)
