Hi guys, I have a sentence of a Russell Banks' book I don't understand :
"Dr Fidel Castro, hunkered down in the mountain passes southeast of Havana, was getting praised for his integrity and good looks by Time and Reader's Digest" In this sentence, Is the word "passes" an adjective (which goes with mountain) or a verb ?,why there isn't a preposition before the word "southeast" ?
I'm french, thanks you to correct my english !
