Question

Which sentence contains both a noun phrase and a verb phrase? a the pigeons have not landed on my neighbor’s balcony in a long time. b some dog breeds have docked tails. some dog breeds have docked tails. c he sat on my grandmother’s favorite armchair. d you can find frogs and insects by the pond if you look closely enough

Answer 1

All the options provided contain both a noun phrase and a verb phrase. However, if we are to identify one, option d stands out:

**d) You can find frogs and insects by the pond if you look closely enough.**

In this sentence, "you" is the noun phrase (subject), and "can find frogs and insects by the pond" is the verb phrase. The phrase "look closely enough" also functions as a subordinate clause.

Each sentence provided does contain both noun and verb phrases, but d is most clear in illustrating this structure.
