Hello, guys,
I've just entered a rather simple yet confusing sentence.
1.The frog was driven over and dead.
2. The frog was driven over and died.
Which one is correct?
In sentence 1, is it grammatically correct when "dead" shares "was" with "driven over?" I'm asking mainly because the former is an adjective
while the later is part of a passive voice. I assumed sentence 1 won't be acceptable grammatically because it is in conflict with parallelism.
Am I on the right track?
