Minutes later, he returned, properly dressed, only to find that the party was nearly over.
请问老师:
1 Minutes later 这里Minutes是名词充当程度副词修饰副词later吗?
2 properly dressed是形容词短语充当状语,修饰动词returned吗?
1 Minutes later 这里Minutes是名词充当程度副词修饰副词later吗?【答】是的。
2 properly dressed是形容词短语充当状语,修饰动词returned吗?【答】不是。这里的 properly dressed=he was properly dressed,即 properly dressed 表示他当时所处的状态。
