Grammar
The meaning of get the kids ready for school etc.
1. get the kids ready for school- make the kids prepare to go to school
2. get breakfast ready- cook/make breakfast
3. take the kids to school- bring the kids to school
4. go for a run- go jogging
I understand these left phrases as the rights, but are they correct?
Is #1 sentence a causative verb?
About #2, is the word "ready" the adjective in here?
1). Can I push the seat "back"?
2). I'm afraid we don't have tickets "available".
Are these two sentences also adjectives?
Thank you very much.
