Adjective Phrase
Phrases that consist of an adjective plus any modifiers or complements. Adjective phrases modify nouns. They may be attributive (appearing before the noun) or predicative (appearing after a linking verb), but not all adjectives can be used in both positions.

In an ADJECTIVE PHRASE (AP), the Head word is an adjective. Examples:Kamal is clever The technician is late The pre-Head string in an AP is most commonly an adverb phrase such as very or extremely. Adjective Heads may be followed by a post-Head string: happy to meet you afraid of the dark

Adjective phrases answer the same question that word adjective answer.
[ What kind? Which one? How many? how much? ]
