Is she hid a noun phrase?

"She hid" is not a noun phrase. It is a verb phrase.

Here's why:

* Noun phrases are groups of words that function as a noun. They typically include a noun and any modifiers (adjectives, articles, etc.). For example, "the big red ball" is a noun phrase.

* Verb phrases are groups of words that include a verb and any helping verbs. They describe an action or state of being. For example, "is playing" and "will have gone" are verb phrases.

To make "she hid" a noun phrase, you need to add a noun after the verb. For example, you could say:

* "She hid the treasure." ("the treasure" is now the noun phrase).
