What is the difference between adjective phrase and noun phrase?
In an adjective phrase, the function of the phrase is to modify a noun, which is what an adjective does. For example, if I were to say "I have performed a death-defying feat" the phrase "death-defying" is an adjective phrase. It modifies "feat".The function of a noun phrase is to identify some object (technically some person, place, or thing) which is what a noun does. For example "the United States of America" is a noun phrase. It is a single thing which we are identifying by using a phrase that contains 5 words.
What is the simple subject in this sentence On the sand lay a beautiful seashell?
If you reword the sentence, it will make things easier. In English, most sentences have the structure of SVO (subject, verb, object), with prepositional phrases at the beginning or end of the sentence, or after the subject or object. This sentence has the structure of VS (verb, subject) (there is no object) with the prepositional phrase at the beginning. "On the sand" is the prepositional phrase. We will put this at the end of the sentence. To order this sentence correctly, we must switch the subject and the verb (VS to SV). Now the sentence reads, "A beautiful seashell lay on the sand." "Seashell" is the subject. Note: "Beautiful" is not part of the subject, it is only an adjective modifying the subject.
