Noun Phrase Digital Exercises for Your Grammar Lessons
Understanding how a noun phrase works is an essential grammar skill that helps students write more vivid and detailed sentences. They’re not the easiest parts of speech to work with, as writing a noun phrase involves placing adjectives in the correct order according to their type. This is not always obvious, and therein lies the challenge!
