Adverb/Adjective?
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 3:05 pm
Dear Alan,
"Is Sue home from work yet?"
My dictionary says the word 'home' in the above sentence is an adverb ... but why? My grammar says adverb has 3 functions: to modify verbs, to modify adjectives, and to modify adverbs. I thought 'home' here modifies 'Sue' which is a noun. Isn't it an adjective instead?
