The girl I talked to yesterday is my best friend.

If there is a superlative comparison in a noun phrase as a pre modifier, we will normally begin the relative clause with ‘that” and in some cases we can omit it

She is the most beautiful girl (that) I have ever met


  1. non finite clauses

Non finite clauses may function as post modifiers and there are three kinds of them:

    • Present participle clause. Eg: the dog sparking the thief

    • Past participle clause. Eg: the girl shocked by the news

    • Infinitive clause. Eg: a plan to catch a mouse:

In present participle and past participle, the head of the noun phrase is the implied subject.

  1. Adjective and adverbial clauses:

An adjective or adverbial clause may follow the head noun as a modifier for the head noun as illustrated below, respectively.

We don’t talk to the people upstairs

I saw her face full of tears


  1. Complementation. It helps to make clearer the head noun.

A more intelligent girl than I

  1. Head:

The head of a noun phrase may be a noun or pronoun. Without a noun, we usually cannot have a noun phrase.
