The Noun Phrase
Definition
The noun phrase functions as the subject or the object of a sentence. The main component is a noun which becomes the nucleus of the phrase.
Nominalizing verbs through -ing gerund. Examples:
Selling is a skill not everyone has.
Living abroad sounds very challenging.
The new trend in business is Matchmaking.
A quick tip: In Spanish, we can think of the work 'ésto/a' to identify the object and so, the noun phrase.
