A phrase modifying a noun or pronoun is an adjective phrase?

That's close, but not quite accurate. A phrase modifying a noun or pronoun is called an adjective phrase.

Here's the breakdown:

* Adjective Phrase: A group of words that functions as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun. It typically includes an adjective as its headword and may include other modifiers like adverbs, prepositions, and other adjectives.

Example:

* "The dog with the floppy ears" - "with the floppy ears" is an adjective phrase modifying the noun "dog."

* "That house, painted bright blue" - "painted bright blue" is an adjective phrase modifying the pronoun "that."

Key Points:

* Adjectives: Single words describing qualities or characteristics of nouns or pronouns.

* Adjective Phrases: Groups of words that act like single adjectives.
