You have "the little blue bird" in the right spot! The only other noun phrase here is "a sweet, sad smile." All of the other phrases are verb phrases ("had been watching it," "will go shopping," and "going dancing tonight.") The noun phrases do not contain <em>any</em> verbs and the verb phrases do not contain <em>any</em> nouns. Bird and smile are the nouns (remember a noun is a person, place, or thing). "Going dancing," Will go shopping," and "had been watching," are all verbs. Verbs are action words, anything you <em>do</em> is a verb. Hope this helps!
Malcolm was heroic, just, and wanted to bring Macbeth down because of his evil deeds.
I would like to be good at soccer. I haven't played before, but if I got the chance, I'd like to be the best player out there. I want to be good at this one sport because I usually don't like sports, but I seem to love soccer, tennis, and golf. I am already good at tennis and golf, so I chose soccer. I might even sign up next year.
If you put the picture of the story or article I would be more than happy to help
