The Noun Phrase

What is a noun phrase?

A noun phrase is a phrase which includes:
  1. a noun (also called head)
  2. and optionally modifiers.
Examples:
  • Love is a beautiful feeling. (Love is a noun phrase without modifiers. However, a beautiful feeling is a noun phrase that includes a noun, feeling, and the determiner a and the adjective beautiful)
  • My house is over there. (My house is a noun phrase which consists of the noun house and a modifier - the possessive adjectivemy)

Possible noun modifiers

A noun phrase may optionally contain noun modifiers. If these modifiers are placed before the noun they are called pre-modifiers. However, if they are placed after the noun, they are called post-modifiers. Possible noun modifiers include the following:
1. Determiners

The indefinite article a or an:

The article a / an is used when we don't specify the things or people we are talking about:
  • I met a friend.
  • I work in a factory in New York.
  • I borrowed a pencil from a passenger sitting next to me.
The indefinite article a is used before a consonant sound:
  • a dog.
  • a pilot
  • a teacher.
  • a university
NOTE: 
Although 'university' starts with the vowel 'u', it is not pronounced as such. It is pronounced as a consonant sound /ju:.niv3:.si.ti/
The indefinite article an is used before a vowel sound:
  • an engineer.
  • an elephant.
  • an athlete

The definite article the:

It's used when the speaker talks about a specific object that both the person speaking and the listener know.
  • The car over there is fast.
  • The president of the United States is giving a speech tonight.
When we speak of something or someone for the first time we use a or an, the next time we repeat that object we use the definite article the.
  • I live in a house. The house is quite old and has four bedrooms.
  • I ate in a Chinese restaurant. The restaurant was very good.

No article:

1. Do not use an article with countries, states, counties or provinces, lakes and mountains except when the country is a collection of states such as "The United States".
  • He lives in Washington near Mount Rainier.
  • They live in Northern British Columbia.
  • They climbed Mount Everest.
2. we do not normally use an article with plurals and uncountable nouns to talk about things in general.:
  • He writes books.
  • She likes sweets.
  • Do you like jazz music?
  • She ate bread with butter in the morning.

Countable and uncountable nouns

Using English articles with countable and uncountable nouns may be confusing.
The can be used with uncountable nouns, or the article can be dropped entirely as mentioned above.
  1. "The two countries reached the peace after a long disastrous war" (some specific peace treaty) or "The two countries reachedpeace after a long disastrous war" (any peace).
  2. "He drank the water" (some specific water- for example, the water his wife brought him from the kitchen) or "He drank water." (any water)
It is unusual to use a/an for uncountable nouns. You can't say "I'd like a milk"
a/an can be used only with countable nouns.
  1. I'd like a piece of cake.
  2. I lent him a book.
  3. I drank a cup of tea.

In English, determiners are usually placed before the noun;
2. adjectives (the delicious food)
3. complements, in the form of a prepositional phrase (such as: the student of physics), or a That-clause (the idea  that the world is a small village )

Functions of a noun phrase

Noun phrases can function as subjects, objects:
  1. That sophisticated woman is beautiful. (That sophisticated woman is a noun phrase that functions as a subject.)
  2. I like the book that you bought. (the book that you bought is a noun phrase that functions as an object.)

Passive Voice

Nama : Akbar Nasution
NPM : 14209644
Kelas : 4 EA 15
MK   : Bahasa Inggris Bisnis 2#


ACTIVE / PASSIVE VOICE

Active voice
In most English sentences with an action verb, the subject performs the action denoted by the verb.
    These examples show that the subject is  doing the verb's action.
            
Because the subject does or "acts upon" the verb in such sentences, the sentences are said to be in the active voice.

Passive voice
One can change the normal word order of many active sentences (those with a direct object) so that the subject is no longer active, but is, instead, being acted upon by the verb - or passive.
    Note in these examples how the subject-verb relationship has changed.
            
Because the subject is being "acted upon" (or is passive), such sentences are said to be in the passive voice.
NOTE:   Colorful parrots live in the rainforests cannot be changed to passive voice because the sentence does not have a direct object.
To change a sentence from active to passive voice, do the following:
    1.  Move  the active sentence's direct object into the sentence's subject  slot
             
    2. Place the active sentence's subject into a  phrase beginning with the preposition by
              
    3.  Add a form of the auxiliary verb be to the main verb and change the  main verb's form
              
Because passive voice sentences necessarily add words and change the normal doer-action-receiver of action direction, they may make the reader work harder to understand the intended meaning.
As the examples below illustrate, a sentence in  active voice  flows more smoothly and is easier to understand than the same sentence in  passive voice.
             
            
It is generally preferable to use the ACTIVE voice.

To change a passive voice sentence into an active voice sentence, simply reverse the steps shown above.
    1.  Move  the passive sentence's subject into the active  sentence's  direct object slot
             
    2.  Remove  the auxiliary verb be from the main verb and change main verb's form if needed
            
    3. Place the passive sentence's object of the preposition by into the subject slot.
           
Because it is more direct, most writers prefer to use the active voice whenever possible.
The passive voice may be a better choice, however, when
  • the doer of the action is unknown, unwanted, or unneeded in the sentence
             Examples
             
  • the writer wishes to emphasize the action of the sentence rather than the doer of the action
            Examples
               
  • the writer wishes to use passive voice for sentence variety.
