2 of 5
Noun Phrase
A phrase with the noun as its head. An example would be 'Almost all healthy foxes can jump'. In this case, all the words before the noun 'foxes' modify it and so are part of the noun phrase.
3 of 5

Where an active verb has its normal pattern of subject and object (with the subject 'doing' the object). To provide contrasting examples, 'The school arranged a visit' is the active voice and 'A visit was arranged by the school' is the passive voice.
