Re write the sentence in direct speech,what a surprise they exclaimed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.169.165.131 (talk) 06:39, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple issues[edit]

Why is this article separate from Noun phrase? There are many unfamiliar (even unlinked) items that hardly anyone will understand (non-restrictive relative clause, WTF?). The second table is a mystery: what is being categorised in the right column? Where are the premodifiers? It seems to be a large stub, full of unexplained complexity.

I agree, in fact I think this article should be merged into the Noun Phrases section in English grammar. It is advertised there as the "main article", though in fact it has less information and less clear explanation than can be found in that section. Victor Yus (talk) 09:18, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
