I am stumped.\n\nAn adverb generally modifies a verb (a word denoting some form of action).  "Went" is a past participle of go (action word).  "Walk" is also a verb. "For" is a preposition, therefore, "for a walk" is a prepositional phrase. "Outside" is a noun telling "where" the "nameless character"  "went".  "On" can be used as a preposition, an adverb AND an adjective. So . . . using that theory, "On" is used as a function word that indicates a time in which something happens, "On a very cold day". So it is a prepositional phrase.  However, that phase comes before the verb "went" and again after the prepositional phrase "for a walk". \n\nConfused yet?\n\nSo am I.\n\nSo my guess would be the first prepositional phrase "On a very cold day" (being a function of time) preceding the verb "went".\n\nJust a guess.  Probably a bad guess, but a guess all the same.\n\nCheck with your English teacher.  They may have had grammar in college.

I am not sure but I know that this made possible through the Necessary and Proper Clause or the ELastic Clause.  SO maybe it is something similar to the word elastic. Good Luck!

An infinitive is "to" plus the verb: to go, to see, to jump, to run. When the infinitive begins a phrase that modifies a noun or pronoun, it functions as an adjective and is therefore an adjective infinitive phrase.\n\nExample: He is the baseball player to watch carefully. To watch carefully is an infinitive phrase that modifies player. Therefore, it is an adjective infinitive phrase.\n\nExample: The doctor to call immediately is Dr. Swift. To call quickly tells which doctor, modifies doctor, and is therefore an adjective infinitive phrase.\n\nI hope this helps!!

This has to be an adverbial prepositional phrase, because it tells where they went.  "The students went" is the backbone of the sentence: "students" is the subject, and "went" is the verb.  Where did they go?  On a skiing trip.  \n\nThere are a few good questions to ask when you see a prepositional phrase.  If you can answer "when" or "how" then you know it is adverbial, because adverbs are words of time and they tell how something was done.  If your phrase is more descriptive, and cannot answer "when" or "how" then it is an adjective.  \n\nHope this helps.  Cheers, K (teacher 14 years)

Quote:  "I like her teaching and BUTT, why I do not know?"\n\nThe 'and' in that sentence is the real problem. Misspellings aside, if he were only trying to convey that he is not certain why he likes her teaching, the 'and' makes the sentence totally grammatically incorrect. It does look as if the child was trying to convey that he likes her teaching and her backside. Proper grammar can go a long way to correcting for spelling mistakes. The sentence, if truly intended the way the child says, should read: "I like her teaching, but I do not know why."

Sentence number 2 is correct.\n\nThe reason sentence 1 is not correct is because it has a dangling participle. In other words, the participle cannot distinguish what it wants to describe. \n\nIt could be that you realize how much different you have been than before (like in sentence 2)\nOR------\nit could be that you realize how FREQUENTLY you have been different than before.\n\nIf you read sentence 1, you will realize that both senerios could be true. \n\nHope this helps\nThanks\nJon

It's a verb. It's replacing "said" or "says."

Not sure what you're asking---the first line is a noun phrase that could (I suppose) be considered a nominalized form of the second and third lines (which are sentences).\n\nI don't know if I'm in the Asshat category, but, honestly I do not know what "nominalize" means.\n\nThe delegation of full authority to the above defuty\nThis is a noun phrase (should be dePuty)\n\nI delegate a authority to the above deputy\nmy delegation of (full?) authority to the above deputy\n\nthe above deputy is hereby delegated full authority\n\nsame as above, or if you want a noun clause: "That the above deputy is hereby delegated full authority"

My guess is that the sentence really reads:  "Thanks AND regards."\nmeaning he is thankful and at the same time extending his regards.  It is a common "letter ender".

WH I am not sure of.  However, the ADJ means adjudicated I would imagine guilty since a sentence was rendered, and the susp ent sent, means that the disposition was a suspended sentence.

"Piece" is the direct object in this sentence. "The & last" modify "piece".So the phrase "the last piece" is functioning as the direct object.
