Answer:
Explanation:
We are to match each phrase to the correct section , either as a noun phrase or a verb phrase.
Let's first have an understanding of what a noun phrase and a verb phrase is all about ; To start with, A noun phrase is a word or a group of word performing the role of a noun(i.e a grammatical function) either as a subject, object or complement of the sentence.
A verb phrase comprise of a verb in a group of words which can be a subject, predicate or modifiers. A verb phrase must consist of at least a verb in the sentence and its dependents.
So, let's have a table for that ;
Noun Phrase Verb Phrase
i had been watching it going dancing tonight
the little blue bird
will go shopping
a sweet, sad smile
A background/preface to give you background information
Large is an Adjective
Fish is a Noun
Swim is a Verb
Swiftly is an Adverb
In is a preposition
The is a determiner
Sea is a noun.
I hope this helps since you didn't say which word is italicized.
