An \(\rm\color{lime}{adjective~phrase}\) is a group of words that describe/modify a noun (subject).

"The \(\rm\color{red}{flower}\) is \(\rm\color{blueviolet}{beautiful}\)."
Red= subject (noun), Purple = adjective (describing word)

Now, let's use an example with an adjective phrase:

"The \(\rm\color{red}{flower}\) was a \(\rm\underline{\color{blueviolet}{pretty~red~color}}\).
