Build Everyday English Phrases: Determiner + Adjective + Noun using a Chunking Approach

Описание: Phrase-Level English: Determiner + Adjective + Noun (Everyday English) CHUNKING with COLOUR CODING for confident spoken sentences.

In this Everyday English mini lesson, Ruth explains a very common phrase pattern in spoken English:

Determiner + Adjective + Noun
(a good idea, the right place, my old house)

You need to be confident at this phrase.

This pattern appears constantly in everyday conversation, but it’s rarely taught in a clear, usable way for adult learners.

In this lesson, I use:
chunking (learning phrases, not isolated words)
colour coding to show how English fits together
simple spoken examples
a calm, practical approach to grammar for real communication

This is part of the Everyday English Great Grammar mini-series, designed to support adult learners of English as an additional language who want to:
speak more naturally
understand sentence structure without overthinking grammar
build confidence using short, useful phrases

There’s no memorisation and no complicated terminology.

We focus on patterns you can reuse immediately in everyday life.

📌 Useful for:
everyday conversation
describing things clearly
building longer sentences step by step
understanding how English phrases are structured

🗺️ This lesson fits into the wider Everyday English: Routes to Real Conversation approach, where grammar supports communication — not the other way around.


On the Everyday English Channel you are supported by Ruth, a speech and language therapist by background, working as a language tutor for ESL some of each week.
