still question about the noun phrase, are the noun phrases written by me correct?
he often tantalizes me with a beautiful girl 's picture.
if this sentence is changed into a noun phrase , I think it is :
(1) his frequent tantalization of me with a beautiful girl's picture.
is my guess correct?
if the noun of the verb'tantalize' is not found , I would say such noun phrase as:
(2). "his frequent tantalizing of me with a beautiful girl's picture", is that also right?
another example, the king enters the palace.(sentence)
I change it into a noun phrase as:
(3) the king's entrance of the palace.
is that right?
to fear the dark →→ (noun phrase) : (4) fear of the dark.
is that right?
police criticize (him).(sentence)
if the object 'him' of the verb "criticize" is neglected , its noun phrase is:
(5) the ''the criticism of the police'', is that also right?
