a sudden/suddenly increase in moving ?
hello, i am wondering about this sentence:
a sudden/suddenly increase in moving.
1)is this a noun phrase ?
2) I think it should be : a suddenly increase in moving, because "suddenly" is an adverb and i believe it modifies "increase in" ( phrasal verb ?) instead of "moving" ?
Every opinion will be appreciated, thank you

AnonymousSorry, I mean a noun phrase.
AnonymousCan you give me more details? Thanks."A suddenly increase in" is incorrect because the indefinite article makes "increase" a noun.
