1. What does it mean to have two careers? At the gas station, broke glass and blood on asphalt were scattered throughout the station. The police who arrived did not shut off the station. Crime scene, where reporters and photographers fled to the police, was contaminated.

How do I get a credit for two words? I’m waiting to see police come. Is there a reason for this?

I have a random number of noun phrases to think that in the sentences above,,the first police to arrive in sentence #1 and, the police to arrive in sentence #2.

In both cases, the infinitive clause – to arrive – instills two different meanings. In the first case the police has already arrived but in the second case the police is yet to arrive.

In our quoted sentence too, we can derive such meaning. No,the

first human beings to live in the Americas came from more than 15,000 years agoThe meaning is

the first human beings who lived in America came from more than 15000 years ago

What is the most accurate version of the statement above about the first human life in

the America after the arrival of humanity from India? The first

humans to live in America came from Asia or the Pacific. The rest live in the Caribbean or Asia.

In witch stories the witch is usually a homely woman.

Adverb: usually is a ‘CLAUSE ADVERB’ and modifies the entire clause – In stories, the witch is a homely woman.

In many magic stories the witch is homely. Many witches owe things to people who have seen or read them. Now, how could we be happier?

_{Oxford Modern English Grammar calls it CLAUSE ADVERB and Cambridge Grammar of English Language calls it CLAUSE ORIENTED ADJUNCT.}

• ADVERB as the modifier of ADVERB –

You almost always do it.

• ADVERB as modifier of DETERMINATIVE – Almost

all the passengers drowned.

• ADVERB as modifier of noun in poem cf

phrases – She completed almost the whole book. OFF TABLE DOWN THE TOP. nln___=_] “USUALLY don’t modify the copular verb – BE R]?

Let’s consider the following example sentence –

He is late.

In the sentence above, late is a complement of copular verb. Is. Can one drop the complement without running the risk of making the sentence incorrect.?

• ! He is.

The AdvP (Adverb Phrase) function as adjunct, and hence can be dropped from the sentence without making the sentence ungrammatical. We can not drop a compliment of anything.

He is a good person. The good person.

Here the complement is – a good person. Why we can’t drop it. Generally we don’t use an AdvP in the place of complement in the sentence having uniform pattern in neophyte.

In OP’s sentence usually is optional. Is the witch a homely

woman? If so why does she have a homely side?

From what I can see, the tether is an adjunct and not a complement. Semantically the verb – BE – here doesn’t add anything. I can just link your text with its complement. Grammatically it is linking the subject with its complement. In some modern languages, there is the construct of a modifier, but there are no modifiable elements. I mean it’s not like that!

What is one of the such examples of mental health? This is known as locative complement: we add modifier with there when it adds some meaning for example, when it’s used as locative complement. ‘I am not the type of human being’ as addany.

Almost There is even a way to say That I have been sabotaged forever. [ADDON

ANSWER (as asked by commenters) – Why

can “not treat USUALLY as a modifier of the following Noun Phrase” in OP’s sentence?

In myths the witch is

also usually a homely woman, what does this mean?

When noun typs are written, is the name of a homely / homely woman possible instead?

Let’s move around around the sentence (remember one phrase) so that you can get your sense of it. If in each case the meaning doesn’t change, then it is not possible for USUALLY to modify that NP, and only possible analysis in that case is that USUALLY modifies the whole clause.

Typically, the witch is a homely woman except other witches, but there are no witches.

The witch is usually a homely woman.

The witch is a homely woman rarely spotted by people.

As shown above, the meaning remains the same, regardless of the position of the adverb – usually.

So there is no doubt that USUALLY doesn’t modify anything other than the entire clause – the witch is a homely woman.

This is not possession. Es actually the use of plural. Why do we need to type apostrophe in your examples? Wherean we don’t use possession either, the years are not the owner of the style, instead the style took place during those time.

From The New Fowler’s Modern English Usage –

Though once commonly used in the plural of abbreviations and numerals ( Q’s, the 1960’s), the apostrophe is now best omitted in such circumstances: MA, MPs, the 1980s, the three Rs, in twos and threes. Except that it is normally used in contexts where its omission might possibly lead to confusion, e.g. have three i’s in inimical and dot your i’s and cross your t’s; and there are three i on inimical; the class of ’61 (= 1961).

What exactly is the meaning of all the above?

When I say verb phrase in an answer, I mean a verb attached with an auxiliary verb (if any) along with its complements and modifiers. ]

The word “so” as used in your question is pro-form. A pro-form substitutes string of words (e.g. a word) or single word (to be changed). Can you substitute the whole clause or phrase?

In Verb Phrase structure the Pro-form – so – substitutes complements. Various word types are complements to each other. Can be a phrase (entire phrase), a Finite clause or even a non-terminal one.

All the quoted sentences with so in your question are correct, except the one with consider so.
