clear

Can you tell whether 'clear' in the following slogan have been used as a verb, or maybe it's a noun? What do you think?

Clear in mind, body and soul.

I'm inclined to think it's an adjective, just because it's a slogan, who knows if it was written on a shield of some medieval knight

..medieval knight, yeah that's me.


I forgot to say that it was written on an advertisement (Pracci, perfume) in a magazine.

Anyway, you seem to be correct. It could be an adjective. Merci!

Let's turn the advertisement into a complete sentence so we can see how "clear" is being used.


Example 1: This perfume is clear in mind, body, and soul.

That sounds silly, because perfume doesn't *have* a mind, body, or soul...but the usage of "clear" would be as a predicate adjective here.

Example 2: This perfume makes you clear in mind, body, and soul.

That makes a little more sense...and "clear" is still being used as a predicate adjective.

Thank you dear teacher. :)

Adjective for sure.
