Hello everyone,
I. Would you please tell me if the verb "went" in the following sentence is intransitive or "intensive / linking" ?
1) The car went fast. = subject, verb, adverbial of manner / movement (?).
The problem is that we cannot say "The car went", can we ? So is the verb "went" here intensive like the verb "look" in the following sentence ?
2) The car looks fast. = subject + verb + subject related complement.
except that "fast" in sentence 1 is an adverb and in 2 an adjective ?
II. Would you please tell me wich way would you analyse the following sentence and why ?
"She went out of her mind with grief."
1) SVCsAs :
She = noun phrase = subject
went = verb phrase = intensive / linking verb or intransitive verb ?
out of her mind = prepositional phrase = subject complement
with grief = prepositional phrase = adverbial of cause
OR
2) SVCs : out of her mind with grief = prepositional phrase = subject complement
Thank you for your help.
