Noun as adverbs

[LhanzAme]

Hi,

Can anyone please help me with my confusion on the following sentence.

"I found his book inside the room."

Which is the correct adverb?

The options are : inside the room, inside and room.

I know that the answer is the adverbial phrase "inside the room". But the questions I am raising are :

Is "inside" correct or not?

What about if "room" only?

Does the word "room" function as adverb in this sentence?

Is it a noun adverb?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Lhanz

Hi,

Can anyone please help me with my confusion on the following sentence.

"I found his book inside the room."

Which is the correct answer?

We have given the answers as : inside the room or room.

Is "inside" correct or not

What about [strike]if[/strike] "room" only?

Is it still correct or is it the real noun adverb? I don't understand the question.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum.

Please look at my corrections to your post and remember the rules of written English:

- Start every sentence with a capital letter.
- End every sentence with a single appropriate punctuation mark.
- Capitalise the word "I" and all proper nouns.

I don't really understand your question. Do you mean that you have been told that "I found his book inside the room" and "I found his book room" are both possible?

Also, as well as your question to us, what is the question which you want the correct answer to?
There's no point giving us two answers to choose between if we don't know the question.

I think the question may be whether inside room is also correct- it isn't.

I am not sure I understand the title. There is no noun that is an adverb in your sentence. There is an adverbial prepositional phrase "in the room" that modifies the verb "found'.

Hi,
Thank you for the replies. I just want to clarify some points regarding the sentence below.

The instruction is to find the adverb in this sentence, "I found his book inside the room."

Now, there are three options: inside the house, inside or room.

I know that the adverbial phrase is "inside the house", but someone told me that "room" alone is also correct.

So, the question is whether "room" is correct or not?


​Thanks.

Forgetting any distinction between 'room' and 'house', which is no doubt an error:
It's an unfair question. "Inside the room" is an adverbial phrase. In "I found the book inside", "inside" is an adverb.
Neither 'room' nor 'house' can possibly be an adverb.

The word "room" isn't even in that sentence, so it can't possibly be right.

I think that was a typo/thinko, covered in my answer.
