• We give a subordinate clause a special name when it occurs in brackets or dashes. We call these parenthetical clauses.

Question 42

noun phrase

Answer 42

• A noun phrase is words around a noun.
• The head word is surrounded by some form of description.

Modification comes in two forms - pre and post.
Pre-modification is when the head word is being modified before its place in the sentence.
• Post-modification is when the head word is being modified after its place in the sentence.
