We've been on the road for four hours. Another half hour and we'll be at our destination.I'd like to know how "and" can connect a noun phrase and a complete clause.Thank you in advance for your help.

This is elliptical.  The complete sentence would be something like:  "We shall drive for another half hour, and then we'll  be at our destination."  The words "We shall drive for" and "then" are omitted for brevity's sake and are understood from the context.

Thank you no name one, for your so very helpful answer.

I threw myself flat, then rolled toward the shadows to my right. Simultaneous with this, I heard a thunk from the side of the building across the street. The first glance I could spare in that direction showed me an arrow protruding from a wall, its height and position such that had I taken the dive it might well have hit me.

I'd like to know if you think "were" is omitted before "such."
