Which words in the sentence make up the adverb phrase? Which word does the adverb phrase modify?
Sentence: We sometimes see bats after sunset.
A. see bats; modifies We
B. after sunset; modifies bats
C. after sunset; modifies see
D. We sometimes; modifies see
Answer (2)
D because "see" is the verb and "sometimes" is describing the verb not the noun "We."
The adverb phrase in the sentence is "after sunset," and it modifies the verb "see." This phrase indicates when the action takes place. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
