Grammar
truncation possibly this but not that
0 Hi, 02 br
02 br
00 In a tread named 'Please name this grammatical part' an Anon asked what grammatical parts the underlined parts int these two sentences in addition to one other were. The two sentences were: 02 br
02 br
00 There is Super Man, 01 u 00 up in the air 02 u 00 . 02 br
02 br
00 I see a house, 01 u 00 near a school 02 u 00 . 02 br
02 br
00 Mr. M answered those are adverbial phrases of location and the Anon seemed to have accepted the answer but later asked if the sentences could be like this: 02 br
02 br
00 There is superman, flying up in the air. 02 br
02 br
00 I see a house, located near a school. 02 br
02 br
00 To that, I think Mr. M said they are OK but are not necessarily truncated; and if they were, they could be this: 02 br
02 br
00 There is Superman, hovering up in the air. 02 br
02 br
00 I see a house, built near a house. 02 br
02 br
00 Why the anon's version of two sentences are not OK and Mr. M's version are OK? What makes the difference? 0-
