Adverb of place
Hi all,
Are the underlined work adverbs of place, please?
We're going to a shopping center.
I'm going to my shop.
They usually go to school.
Top answer
No: it is the preposition phrases "to a shopping centre", "to my shop" and "to school" that function as locative expressions. But they are not adjuncts (your adverbs); they are locative complements.

0Thank you for your answer.
I don't say your point of view about the function of those phrases is not right. There may be more than one word describing them.
I, personally assume, they're adverbials of place: https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/english-grammar-refer
0Yeah, I was mistaken in the first place by wrongly putting underlines for those single nouns and then continued on them that way.
I actually meant those whole phrases (adverbials of place) to act like an adverb, just like you underlined.
I'm going to my shop.
