Question

Harriet Beecher was born in 1811, the seventh child of a famous Protestant preacher. Which group of words is the adjective phrase in the sentence?

Answer 1

I think it's (of a famous protestant preacher). I'm pretty sure its right :)

Answer 2

An adjective phrase is a group of words that describe a noun or pronoun, they can be located before or after the noun or pronoun in the sentence.

"A Famous Protestant" is the correct sentence because it describes the "preacher", in this case the adjective phrase is located before the noun.

Some examples of an adjective phrase are "That’s a lovely and tiny cake", "The orange and modern car is not here anymore" "The exam was difficult and very long", etc.
