Quasi Predicative
Hi! I would like to know exactly what a QUASI PREDICATIVE is. I have to analyse the text below, and I think that the word ADVISING is a quasi predicative. If it is, what category is it? A gerund or a present participle?
On September seventh, Judge Leo Evergreen approached Judge Sanderstone and suggested that she release a man named Packard Cummings on his own recognisance, even though the man had an extensive record, ADVISING her that he was working as a confidential informant for an unidentified law enforcement agency
