NOUN PHRASES

A noun phrase is either a single noun or pronoun or any group of words containing a noun or a pronoun that function together as a noun or pronoun, as the subject or object of a verb.
For example, ‘they’, ‘books’, and ‘the books’ are noun phrases, but ‘book’ is just a noun, as you can see in these sentences (in which the noun phrases are all in bold)
Example 1:
Yuri : Do you like books?
Lee : Yes, I like them.
Yuri : Do you like books over there?
Lee : Yes, they are nice.
Yuri : Do you like the book I brought yesterday?
Lee : Yes, I like it. (Note: ‘It’ refers to ‘the book’, not ‘book’)
Example 2:
Nicko was late.
(‘Nicko’ is the noun phrase functioning as the subject of the verb.)
Some noun phrases are short: The students
Some are long: The very tall education consultant
Structures of noun phrases:
▪ A beautiful old painting on the wall
The structure of this noun phrase contains three sections:
Pre-modifier Head noun Post-modifier
A beautiful old painting on the wall
A beautiful old painting -

Ø To invest all your money in shares is foolish. (OR It is foolish to invest all your money in shares.)

When the subject is a gerund phrase
When the real subject is a phrase that includes a gerund, it is used as a provisional subject to begin the sentence. So instead of saying ‘Your trying to fool us is no good’, we say, ‘It is no good your trying to fool us.’
Ø It won’t be any good complaining to the manager. (Complaining to the anager won’t be any good.)
Ø It is silly throwing away this opportunity. (Throwing away this opportunity is silly.)
Ø Will it be any good my talking to him about it? (Will my talking to him about it be any good)
Ø It is no fun having so many children to look after. (Having so many children to look after is no fun.)
Note that it is possible to change the gerund into an infinitive.

It is silly (for you) to throw away this opportunity.
Will it be any good for me to talk to him about it?
