  1. A noun phrase is a group of two or more words headed by a noun that includes modifiers (Example: the, a, of them, with her, etc.) A noun phrase plays the role of a noun. In a noun phrase, the modifiers an come before or after the noun.

  2. Phrases In normal writing, nouns nearly always feature in noun phrases accompanied by modifiers. In this list, every noun phrase consists of a head noun (highlighted) and at least one modifier. • People: the soldier, my cousin, dopey Alan, the lawyer with the big nose • Animals: that aardvark, one rat, a shark, funny Mickey • Places: the house in the corner, inner London, dirty factory, no shelter • Things: this table, our London Bridge, the sharp chisel, that nitrogen, last month, an inch, her cooking • Ideas: utter confusion, some kindness, your faith, the Theory of Relativity, a joy. So, a noun with any sort of modifier (even it's just "a" or "the") is a noun phrase.
