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!
