What is the role of "About" in that sentence?
Hello my friends,
I would like to share a sentence which I saw on the Internet, with you.
" I am going to give you a card with a few questions on it about a specific topic. "
According to my opinion,
There is no word before "about", which "about" can refer to. So, "About a specific topic" is an adverbial prepositional phrase here.
In addition to that,
Even if it does not sound natural, we can say: "I am going to give you a card, about a specific topic, with a few questions on it." or "About a specific topic, I am going to give you a card with a few questions on it."
Do you agree with me?
