[Grammar] Nationwide partial curfew

[mrmvp]

Which sentence is correct?


1-Nationwide partial curfew in Kuwait for six days from six am to six pm.

2-Partial nationwide curfew in Kuwait for six days from six am to six pm.

Perhaps:

They have declared a nationwide partial curfew in Kuwait.

Now you have a sentence. (Since I'm happy with that one, why should I keep looking?)

 

[GoesStation]

Neither phrase is a sentence. Number one would be an acceptable headline.

 

[mrmvp]

I made few changes.

In sentence one, Is nationwide an adjective or a noun?

I think the only noun is curfew.

Who can help me about the part of speech of the words?

What is the difference between the two sentences?

1-Kuwait imposed a nationwide partial curfew.

2-Kuwait imposed a partial nationwide curfew.

 

[jutfrank]

1) nationwide is an adjective.
2) curfew is a noun and partial is an adjective.
3) 1 is correct. nationwide goes before partial.

 

[Tarheel]

nationwide - across the entire country

You know and I know that the word "partial" is meaningless here.

Kuwait ' subject
declares - verb
s nationwide curfew - predicate

Are you sure it's not 6 pm till 6 am?

 

[Tdol]

What do you mean by a partial curfew? A partial curfew sounds more like restrictions of movement to me.

 

[emsr2d2]

I agree. A partial curfew doesn't make any sense. If people are allowed out at some times and not at others, then there is just a curfew. If people weren't allowed out at all, there would be what now seems to be referred to as a lockdown.
