Not Sure

[fantastic]

HI

Am I correct?

1- The state is at least twice as big as England. (at least is a degree adverb) I looked up the dictionaries in the net and they didn't write which category it belongs to.


2- john kept eating chocolate.(so kept is acting as a verb be) is there other words like this one?.

3- everything we do is for our advantage.( everything and we are pronouns. How come they come together.

4- He likes to read books. (to read is direct object)(books indirect object)

5- sorry if I kept you waiting.(waiting is adjective).

The phrase at least is an adjective modifying twice as big. It means at a minimum.

2- john kept eating chocolate.(so kept is acting as a verb be) is there other words like this one?.

Here it is a verb meaning continued, thus:

John continued eating chocolate.

3- everything we do is for our advantage.( everything and we are pronouns. How come they come together.

Everything we do is a noun phrase. It means all that we do.

4- He likes to read books. (to read is direct object)(books indirect object)

The word books is a direct object there.

5- sorry if I kept you waiting.(waiting is adjective).

The word waiting is a verb. It is what the person was doing.
