Answer:
Sometimes a group of words does the work of an adjective. Examine the following pairs of sentences:
(a) The minister was a wealthy man.
(b) The minister was a man of great wealth.
(a) The priest was a kind man.
(b) The priest was a man of kindly nature.
(a) The girl lived in a stone cave.
(b) The girl lived in a cave built of stone.
(a) She likes to see a smiling face.
(b) She likes to see a face with a smile on it.
(a) The workers belonged to a hill tribe.
(b) The workers belonged to a tribe dwelling in the hills.
In each of the above pair of sentences, we have first a single word describing the person or thing denoted by the noun, and then a group of words describing the person or thing denoted by the same noun .
In the above example, the group of words great wealth tells us what kind of man the minister was. It qualifies the noun man like an adjective. Therefore, it does the work of an adjective and is called an Adjective Phrase.
Here are some Adjectives and the Adjective Phrases equivalent to them:
