A noun group is a group of words around a noun or a headword. It contains a main noun (e.g. A monkey).

The other words in the noun group such as long-nosed, reddish-brown are adjectives. They tell more about the main noun.

We write the adjectives before the noun. Let’s take a look at the following examples:

• Monkey

• The monkey

• The big monkey

• The big, long-nosed monkey in a mangrove tree

• The big, long-nosed, reddish-brown monkey in a mangrove tree

• The big, long-nosed, reddish-brown monkey in a mangrove tree is playing.

The noun groups above are all about a monkey. We can see that as the sentences get longer, the adjectives give us more information about the monkeys.

The descriptive words help us picture the monkey clearly. Using noun groups helps us to communicate a lot of information in a quick way.
