Amy from WT Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Allright everyone, I believe I'm stumped. In the sentence, "They had come to blows," what exactly is "to blows?" An infinitive verb, or a prepositional phrase? Looking forward to putting the WTM Think Tank to work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narrow Gate Academy Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I would call it a prepositional phrase with blows being the object of the preposition to. Of course grammar isn't my strong point so hopefully some others will chime in as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 In the sentence, "They had come to blows," what exactly is "to blows?"

Amy from WT Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 That's what I've been leaning towards. Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
