The Noun Phrase

The
Noun Phrase
What is a noun phrase?
A noun phrase is a phrase which
includes:
- a
noun (also called head)
- 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:
- articles (the, a),
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/
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.
- "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).
- "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.
- I'd
like a piece of cake.
- I
lent him a book.
- I
drank a cup of tea.
- demonstratives (this, that)
- numerals (two, five, etc.)
- possessives (my, their, etc.)
- quantifiers (some, many, etc.).
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
- That
sophisticated woman is beautiful. (That sophisticated woman is a noun phrase that functions
as a subject.)
- 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#
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
- the writer wishes to emphasize the action of the sentence rather than the doer of the action
- the writer wishes to use passive voice for sentence variety.
