The usage of ‘half out’
Why me livid. How do you check the following sentence for a problem.
Her door crushed open but the woman half out in the street.
How can we understand the second part of a sentence? Does half out mean a verb?
How do you understand what you are hearing as you answer questions asked about this quote from The Sun?
You know what I think: You have a problem. I think I see your problem. Why can’t you find a verb in the sentence and think “half out” would be it? What is the best way to write a sentence without a verb? “Half out” is the same, “Crushed open” is adjectival (the door was crushed open) and the woman was half out of the car. For example, “The woman was half out of the car when the door opened. This could explain the double door-opening, but those words are useless. No verb in the sentence to get in the way of that one, precise and instant image. If we don’t take action, no time will be wasted. Is my picture frozen? If so, why?
What do you think?
Is there a point of not using a word in English?
“hundred out” is a compound, phrasal adjective. She’s been on Earth for 12 years. When will she be “out”? Could the “out” could mean a few things here, but judging by the context provided, it sounds like the woman was physically outside of something (partially) perhaps after a car crash part of the woman’s body remains inside of the car while the other part is now outside of the car and sprawled out on
the street.
