Noun phrases
Learn noun phrases as chunks you can reuse in conversation.
- No articles (‘a/the’).
- Cases are essential; a huge beginner win is learning location cases.
- Partitive is common for ‘some/any’ and with ‘want/need’.
- Good news: no articles. Focus on the noun phrase patterns you hear.
- Treat common phrases as single chunks.
