 Re: located to the north of the park
The sentences mean about the same or perhaps the first one means the house is located toward the north of but inside the park and the second means it’s located near the north perimeter of (but outside) the park?
Grammatically the object of the preposition ‘to’ in the first sentence is an adverb phrase modifying ‘is located’. ‘North of the park’ in the second sentence is also an adverb phrase modifying the same verb. The first ‘north’ is a noun whereas the second ‘north’ functions as an adverb. |
