Noun Phrase

A noun phrase (NP) is a phrase whose head is a noun or a pronoun, optionally accompanied by a set of modifiers.

 This means that one noun or pronoun can be grammatically functioned as NP.

 For the NP modifer, there are 2 kinds considering by its position:

 1. pre-modifier (modifier which is placed before the noun)

 2. post-modifier (modifier which is placed after the noun)

 The NP pattern is simple in normal sentence and imperative mood, but it’s much harder in question form with inversion.
