[the chemistry teacher who cooks meth for a living] [[finally] told [his wife] [the truth]] 1.1 Syntactic categories [the chemistry teacher who cooks meth for a living], [his wife], and [the truth] are all noun phrases (NP). According to Tallerman (2015), by finding the word class of the head of a phrase, the word class of the whole phrase can be determined as they are the same. Also according to this author, the head determines the meaning of the whole phrase as it carries the semantic information and is generally obligatory, while other parts can be omitted (Tallerman, 2015).

When replaced by a pronoun, the phrase also shows nominative case: (16) [They] consider Fring an unlikely villain. The noun phrase also agrees with the verb and is clause-initial. [consider Fring an unlikely villain] is the predicate as it is what is left of the sentence without the subject, non-optional, and a NP. [Fring] is a direct object of the verb consider. The noun phrase can be moved to the clause-initial position and become the subject of a passive

Upon asking her hand in marriage, his bride-to-be refused to marry him unless he built her a southern plantation-style mansion.
