    Examples of Noun Phrases

    Noun phrases are extremely common.
    A noun with any sort of modifier (including just a number or an article) is a noun phrase.
    Here are some examples of noun phrases:

    S + V + O           
    S(device) + V (is) + O / Subject complement ( mirror )
    • The best car safety device is a rear-view mirror with a cop in it. (Dudley Moore, 1935-2002)
        (In this example, the first noun phrase is the subject, and the second is a subject complement.) 

      •  The best defense against the atom bomb is not to be there when it goes off. (Anon)
    • (In this example, there is a noun phrase within a noun phrase. The noun phrase the atom bomb is the object of the preposition against. The prepositional phrase against the atom bomb modifies defense.)

    • I don't have a bank account, because I don't know my mother's maiden name. (Paula Poundstone)
      (In this example, both noun phrases are direct objects.)


    • Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. (Albert Einstein, 1879-1955)
