Phrase

Hello,

1.The cake with nuts fell onto the floor.

In the above sentence, 'with nuts' modify the noun 'cake' and 'onto the floor' modify the verb 'fell'.

It is possible to call 'with nuts' an adjective, and 'onto the floor' an adverb, though the forms are prepositional phrase.

Thanks.

Yes, but I would use the terms 'adjectival' and 'adverbial'. (Maybe no one else would, though.)

Sir,

Yes, but I would use the terms 'adjectival' and 'adverbial'. (Maybe no one else would, though.)

You prefer the mentioned terms but others may not. They may simply call it an adjective or an adverb.

Does it mean the same as indicated in the bold?

Thanks.
