Dear teachers,
Can sentence elements starting with the prepositional phrase "with..." be analysed in different ways?
Please correct my analysis.
1) This chap went on a free luxury holiday without his wife.
= Subject, Intransitive/Intensive Verb (?), Adverbial of place, Adverbial of Accompaniment.
Is the verb "went" considered as an intransitive or a copular verb here?
Is the adverbial of place obligatory?
2) All the people that were left behind became infected with the virus.
a) Subject, Copular Verb, Subject Complement (infected + with the virus)
b) Subject Copular Verb, Subject Complement, Adverbial of means/intrument (?)
Best regards
