Verb Phrase


     Every sentence must have a verb. To depict doable activities, writers use action verbs. To describe conditions, writers choose linking verbs.

Examples

1)The tires screeched as Selena mashed the accelerator.
-In the first sentence, screeched and mashed, single-word verbs, describe the quick actions of both the tires and Selena.

2)Selena should have been driving with more care, for then she would not have gotten her third ticket this year.
-The auxiliary verbs that comprise should have been driving [a four-word verb] and would have gotten [a three-word verb] express not only time relationships but also evaluation of Selena's actions.

Another Examples:



Take My Heart-Soko

You can take my heart for a walk on the beach
You can take my heart for a little trip
You can take my heart very close to your heart
You can take my heart forever if you like

But not every heart belongs to any other
You and I
You and I are meant to be
I'm the one for you, You're the one for me
You love me as much as I do
When you look at me and we're skin to skin
I want you so
Please come in
And you love me more and more
And my love grows up with you
And you kiss me more and more
And I kiss you, too
And I kiss you, too

If I take your heart, I will cherish it every day
If I take your heart, I will heal these old wounds
If I take your heart, it's to make it happy
If I take your heart, it's forever close to mine

Noun Phrase


Noun Phrase is -->
A word group with a noun or pronoun as its head. The noun head can be accompanied bymodifiersdeterminers (such as the, a, her), and/or complements.
A noun phrase (often abbreviated as NP) most commonly functions as a subjectobject, or complement.
EXAMPLES OF NOUN PHRASES:

EG: John was late.

('John' is the noun phrase functioning as the subject of the verb.)

EG: The people that I saw coming in the building at nine o'clock have just left.

('The people ... nine o'clock' is a lengthy noun phrase, but it functions as the subject of the main verb 'have just left'.)
Another Examples:
Goodbye to you my trusted friendWe ve known each other since weWere nine or tenTogether we ve climbed hills and treesLearned of love and abc sSkinned our hearts andSkinned our knees
Goodbye my friend it s hard to dieWhen all the birds are singingIn the skyNow that spring is in the airPretty girls are everywhereThink of me and I ll be there
We had joy we had fun we hadSeasons in the sunBut the hills that we climbed wereJust seasons out of time
Goodbye papa please pray for meI was the black sheep of the familyYou tried to teach me right from wrongToo much wine and too much songWonder how I got along
