  • I found John and Harry sings well. What with John?

    John sang.. and Harry sang well..

    A lower-level distributive coordination like that in can be expanded to a logically equivalent mainclause one, as in ].

    Which sentence is a compound sentence? X is a simple sentence with one subject, “John and Harry”, and the single predicate “sang

    well” (see example).

  • Asked on December 22, 2021 in Grammar.

    I have been very sick (for a week) on Sunday. Why?

    The preposition phrase “for a week” does not modify “sick”, but is a duration adjunct (adverbial) in clause structure.

    Is it in some way meaningless? Amended) the adjective “sick”, like some PPs would, as in “I’ve been sick with a fever” or degree adverbs like “terribly” or “very”; rather, it states the duration of your being sick.

    As you noticed, this is moveable. (Cf. cf. The one example was “For a week I was sick” (and I

    cannot avoid it).

    How many chemicals are found in sodas, and how are they harmful?

    I’d take this “how” as a subordinator used in informal style.

    If I see artificial chemicals in sodas as bad for health then the word “that” is being used without the usual manner or degree meaning, so it seems reasonable to say that it is no longer an

    interrogative word. I can see that artificial chemicals in sodas are not really good

    for me either.
