 one more thing...
and one more thing!
--the road flooded(we see the ''flood'' and the agent is unspecified as you say and more maybe unimportant..the action is important not the thing that causes ''flood''-for example water..we just see the event of ''flood'')
--the road was flooded(here the agent is again unspecified but the emphasis of the road's affection is seen when we choose to tell it like that;not the event as in the first sentence)it's a slight difference but it's the difference,isn't it?
and I couldn't find it anywhere;did you mean ''flooded'' can also be a noun in this sentence:''the road was flooded''-rather than a passive form(I mean ''flooded'' here is not the third form of the verb;it's a noun)
thanks a lot for your care and help!! |
