00:50An
00:53Adjective phrase is a group of words in which the head word is an adjective
00:59It modifies the noun or the pronoun
01:03It is placed before or after
01:07When an adjective phrase is placed after the noun or pronoun it modifies
01:12It is known as a predicated
01:16adjective phrase

01:24This sentence the phrase shy thin is an adjective phrase as it modifies the noun
01:33Joseph and
01:35It appears after the noun it has modified

01:50Beautiful tall lady in this sentence the phrase
01:54beautiful tall is an adjective phrase as it modifies the noun Rihanna and
02:01It appears after the noun it has modified. So it will be a predicated
02:07adjective phrase on
02:10the other hand when an adjective phrase is placed before the noun or
02:16Pronoun it modifies. It is known as an attribute adjective phrase a
02:24Weak old man was crossing the road
02:27Here the phrase weak old is an adjective phrase as it modifies the noun
02:35Man, and it appears before the noun it has modified
02:40So it is called an attributive
