Is clever and miserable also adjectives? Does the usage encapsulate a transitive link-verb structure (the transitive object of the verb)? It is a non standard example, similar to

Quote me happy.

What are some examples

of hammered metals (like an aluminum bar)?

She shot the gangster dead, he was murdered in his arms. The people tried to fix it, but she didn’t win.

The ants were eating the man alive. They were eating him down to the skull but in his hand he was alive.

For “expression” (the last depictive rather

than resultative) => (the last depictive rather than resultative)

Is the use of the after comprise one-way with the

collection of 500 000 books and manuscripts a bad idea Collins

Dictionary?

U.S. does not exist as a country. I don’t think this is different.

Not only is ‘comprised of’ permissible,

its sound also fine.

This is a passive (or arguably adjectival) use involving account of which some consider to be ungrammatical (see http://grammarsource.mt) com/2007/03/26/comprised-v-is-comprised-of/.

Zwicky, in Exceptional Degree Markers, describes the too

big of a dog expression

as being confined to American dialects (p 113; see also footnotes). Is of now more than just a preposition? Is a virus a virus? Is there a difference between “Abney” & Radford” in how sound they are?

(Because the house is too big) is very wrong, one should not buy a house. What makes a handsome man c.? How long of a board?

In Language Log: Bundling, he gives the following examples of and comments on ‘intrusive of’: On to

‘intrusive’ of. Here, many commenters bundle P + of

(in alongside/inside/off/out/outside of) together

the of that appears in one variant of exceptional degree modification (the much-reviled too big of a dog as an alternative to too big a dog ), but the two phenomena have nothing to do with one another beyond that of.

These are extensive discussion in the 5 P + of cases on in this course handout of mine . As for the P and the V, there’s a separate story for each one (though some handbooks recommend against P + of in general): plain out is extremely restricted; outside of is not colloquial; off of is somewhat on the conversational side; etc. Off off is the combination that gets the heaviest criticism, though I don’t think that on the evidence of actual use, it can be classified as non-standard — on the colloquial side, but not non-standard.

Admittedly, this is 25-30 years old, but the descriptors ‘dialectic’, ‘non-standard’,’mildly alarming’ and even’much reviled’ should perhaps urge care in using this construction.

The agent

will be done if someone asks for it shows, the agent is not specified.

What is the temporal reading for a

Farlex?

So pragmatically, the most obvious candidate (the teacher here) would be assumed and should be intended.

‘At

his request’ sounds more natural than ‘on his request’, but suggests ‘if he asks for it’ rather than ‘when he asks’.

Please see Chaz’s new answer in the forum. Wordreference, where the temporal sense that may well well be better indicated by ‘on his request’ is mentioned. It is also said to sound a little a little unusual in the Wordreference Forum thread, though not

unacceptable.

When comparing things between different Objects, the object can have different meaning. Where are comparisons made?

The garden looks good. I feel good.

What does that means? What does your garden look like?

What is the latest quarter’s average profit? Which soup smells good?

• this quarter’s figures look as good as this soup smells.

Is it ok if students look and feel (referring to the same person), so drawing comparisons will likely be safer. ‘What is great’ and ‘well’ are both adjectives. Please correct? Why does ‘Sue is looking good’ and only ‘Sue is Looking Good’ mean different things to different people. It can be said ” “Sue is feeling well “; can it be said “sue is feeling good “. I think I’d stick with the variants using well or either way round works, but with different

accents.

When you google “you were not a mistake,” you will find that this usage is very common.

Is the phrase “you are not the result of a mistake” considered rude?

He sauntered to the local and had a quiet pint.

I was admitted (about 15 years ago) for a blunder, but accepted from Yale. It was as if I’ve been mistaken.

They are set with so many variables and not punchy examples that the first two examples lack punchiness. When adjective qualifies a noun grammatically other than the person or thing it is actually describing, as in the first two examples, it is known as a transferred epithet (or hypallage).
