0 Dear teachers, 02 br

00 When we say that some phrases are objects of a prepostion can they also be adverbials ? 02 br
02 br
00 Examples: 02 br
02 br
00 a) 01 i 00 go up the stairs => 02 i 00 01 i 00 stairs 02 i 00 is the 01 u 00 object 02 u 00 01 u 00 of 02 u 00 01 u 00 the 02 u 00 01 u 00 preposition 02 u 00 01 i 00 up; 02 i 00 can we also say that "up the stairs" is an adverbial of place? 02 br
02 br
00 Same thing for : 01 i 00 Wait 01 u 00 in the car 02 u 00 , Sit 02 i 00 01 u 00 on the bed 02 u 01 i 00 , Walk 02 i 00 01 u 00 down the street 02 u 00 and 01 i 00 02 i 00 Swim 01 u 00 across the stream 02 u 00 . Are these elements objects of the prepositions they are introduced with AND adverbials of place? 02 br

02 br
00 Would it be possible to analyse "He went up the stairs" this way: 02 br
02 br
00 he = subject; went up = verb; the stairs = direct object or is it definitely: 02 br
02 br
00 he = subject; went = verb; up the stairs = adverbial of place ? 02 br
02 br
00 All the best, 02 br

00 up the stairs (= prep phrase in adverbial function) 02 br
02 br
01 b 01 i 00 went up 02 i 02 b 00 = verb + prep and not verb + adverb particle -- 01 b 01 i 00 went up 02 i 02 b 00 is not a pv in the sentence 02 br
02 br
00 the stairs = object of the prep. 02 br
