Which best identifies the difference between prepositional phrases and infinitives?

English
1 answer:
Y_Kistochka [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: Prepositional phrases don't include verbs.

Explanation:

Infinitive phrases can function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. An infinitive phrase begins with an infinitive (to+ simple form of the verb) and includes objects and modifiers.

For example:

<u>to kill a mockingbird</u>

A prepositional phrase is a group of words that consists of a preposition and a noun or a preposition and a pronoun. A prepositional phrase modifies a verb or a noun and it does not contain either a verb or a subject and it functions as a unified part of speech.

For example:

The shirt <u>with flowers</u> is mine.

The main difference between an infinitive and prepositional phase is the fact that <u>prepositional phrases don’t include verbs</u>. If the phrase follows a verb, then it is an infinitive phrase, as the prepositional phrases do not contain verbs.

Everything in the hospital environment sent waves of shivers down my spine and I vowed never to get myself into situations that will make me to visit the hospital again. 
2. The action verbs in the paragraph are as follow: Broke, taken, sent, vowed, visit and get. 
The helping verbs in the paragraph are as follow: was and had.  
Action verbs are those verbs that express action, they tell us what a subject is doing or has done. They are the main verbs in sentences. Helping verbs on the other hand help the action verbs by extending their meanings.

How is part iv different from the other parts of the story what is its purpose "the nose"?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Part IV shows the narrator's considerations about the story, while the other parts present the story itself.

Explanation:

"The nose" is a short story written by Nicholau Gogol that portrays the fantasy story of a nose that came out of its owner's face and took on a life of its own and decides to live independently. The short story is a satire and is divided into several parts.

Part IV proves to be the most different of all, since it counts on the narrator's considerations, the most "nosense" points of the narrative, while the other parts are summarized to tell the facts that compose the story itself.
