the adjective phrase
An
adjective phrase is a prepositional phrase that modifies a noun or
a pronoun. This phrase answers the question Which one? The adjective
phrase follows right after the noun or pronoun that it modifies or describes.
Generally, if you cannot logically move the prepositional phrase within the
sentence, it is most often an adjective phrase. Remember that an adjective
phrase contains no verb.
The adjective phrases are underlined in these sentences.
Some programs at our local library were requested last year. (Which
