In the following sentence what part of speech is "down"? Is it a preposition or considered an adverb to describe walked? Also, is "brightly" an adverb to "lit" and "lit" an adjective to "house"? There were a few of us trying to figure it out...
"Sam and I walked quickly down the dark street toward the brightly lit house that he lived in."
"Sam and I walked quickly down the dark street toward the brightly lit house that he lived in."
