Act as an adjectival phrase

Hi. Can we use the underlined part as an adjectival phrase, as I think is used here? The name of the movie, "My Lucky Friend," is made-up (something I came up with).

She returned to television in fantasy romance My Lucky Friend.

  

Top answer

"She returned to television in the fantasy romance My Lucky Friend" . No, it's not an adjective phrase, but a noun phrase. "The fantasy romance My Lucky Friend" is a noun phrase in which the noun phrase "My Lucky Friend" is an appositive modifier of "the fantasy romance".

  • "She returned to television in the fantasy romance My Lucky Friend" .
  • No, it's not an adjective phrase, but a noun phrase.
  • "The fantasy romance My Lucky Friend" is a noun phrase in which the noun phrase "My Lucky Friend" is an appositive modifier of "the fantasy romance".
  • You can tell it's an appositive modifier because it can stand alone in place of the whole noun phrase: "She returned to television in My Lucky Friend" .
  • Incidentally, it would be preferable to include a determiner like "the" to mark the noun phrase as definite, as I've done.
