Question
Which of the following types of phrases can function as a noun in a sentence?
- Noun phrases
- Infinitive phrases
- Gerund phrases
- All of the above
- None of the above
Hint:
A phrase that acts as a noun in a sentence is called a noun phrase. An infinitive phrase contains an infinitive (to + 1st form of a verb) while a gerund phrase contains a gerund (verb + ing). Take examples of each of these phrases in a sentence and see if they can act as a noun.
The correct answer is: All of the above
A noun phrase by definition, acts as a noun in a sentence, so option a is possible. Let us take a sentence with an infinitive phrase- "I like to read aloud." Here, ' to read aloud' is the infinitive phrase which acts as a noun. Similarly, let us take a sentence with a gerund phrase- "I enjoy dancing to the music." Here, 'dancing to the music' is the gerund phrase which acts as a noun. Hence both options b and c are possible too. Thus the correct answer is option d.
