/lit/, just a small question that needs answering for me. Is "held in a cage" a verb phrase, or is it something else?

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 21 17:16:46 2011 No.1646862 it's a fucking adverb

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 21 20:15:46 2011 No.1646891 'Held' is a verb. 'In a cage' would be a prepositional phrase.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 21 20:28:46 2011 No.1646911 >>1646891 Which I guess would make it a verb phrase. A verb phrase is a verb and all its modifiers, basically the same thing as a predicate as >>1646883 put it.
