working from nine to five

Post by azz »

a. I didn't want a regular job, working from nine to five every weekday. I wanted something that would leave me a lot of free time.

Is the above grammatically correct?

Can you say what the grammatical relation of ' working from nine to five every weekday' is to what precedes?

Many thanks

= WHEREBY I WOULD BE working...

thus, a present participle complementing an implied VP within an implied clause
