What are expanded noun phrases? Follow this link and join in with The Rapping Unicorn to find out.
Write down five different nouns from around your home or your imagination. Now write them again with adjectives before the noun. Finally write the adjectives and nouns again but this time with a prepositional phrase after the noun that tells you where the noun is. Remember a phrase does not have a verb! E.g. Thirty slippery newts in the glistening pond.
