1. It has got everyone too scared to talk
2. It has everyone too scared to talk
Their meanings are the same? And "Scared" is adjactive???
You'd better explain all of them(meanings).![]()
There's little difference between the two. If anything, as a British English speaker, I think the first could imply more of a change- an event that has produced this result, not a general state of affairs, but they could also be used interchangeably.
So first clause means that "It has scared everyone to talk" ???![]()
Help please...
I agree with tdol. "got" is optional. And, yes, "scared" is an adjective, "too" is an adverb.
EX: It has (got) everyone too scared to talk.
=> Something has caused everyone to be scared and as a result of that they are afraid to talk.
So is it causative verb???![]()
And why don't i find the meaning of it in dictionaries??? Everywhere is the same: It is only a possession verb....![]()
