Kinds of Phrases
There are two kinds of prepositional phrases: adjective phrases and adverb phrases.
An adjective phrase modifies a noun or pronoun. It always comes immediately after the
noun or pronoun it modifies:
Joe is the student with the highest grade. ("with the highest grade" modifies
"student.")
An adverb phrase modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb. It is used to tell when, where, how,
or to what extent about the word it modifies:
Megan put her bird in its cage. ("in its cage" modifies the verb "put.")
Gerunds, also called verbal nouns, can be modified by adverbs, like this,
adverbials function as adverbs- pa zasto onda mi pisemo AdvP... ZBUNJENA SAM.-MSM DA JE OVO
GRESKA..
Looking at things broadly, adverbs are a word class (or a part of speech). That means
they're members of a prominent tribe, similar to nouns, verbs, and adjectives. They're the top
tier. Meanwhile, adverbials are merely a grammatical label.- NE KONTAM STA JE
GRAMMATICAL LABEL
Parts of speech are labels for categories in which we usually place words.
