I was late for school on Friday.


What is "for school"? An adverb of place or time?


Thanks.

I don't think this is an adverb. "For" is a determiner.

Thanks.

"on Friday" (a prepositional phrase) is the adverbial of time; "for school" (PP) is the adverbial of place in the sentence.

I was [late for school] on Friday.

The preposition phrase "for school" is a complement of the adjective "late", the item that licenses it.
