30. FOCUS ON: participle adjectives formed from phrasal verbs, 2
As we saw in Section 14, the past participles of many phrasal verbs can be used as participle adjectives. The adverb all is sometimes used to emphasize participle adjectives with the meaning of very or completely. But the sentence must be logical — all is used only to emphasize a participle adjective that describes a condition that can be partial, less than complete, and so on. Look at this example with very and two ordinary adjectives:
makes sense: He's very sick. does not make sense: He's very dead.
The first sentence above makes sense because it is possible to be very sick, but the second does not make sense because it is not possible to be very dead.
223
makes sense: The manis all spaced-out. does not make sense: The manisall locked in.
The first sentence makes sense because it is possible to be slightly spaced-out, but it is not possible to be slightly locked in (a door is either locked or it isn't).
|
|
|
When all is used with the meaning of very or completely in a sentence with a plural subject, it is identical in appearance to all's more common meaning of all the people, all the things, and so on.
The men are a// spaced-out.
This sentence is ambiguous: it could be understood to mean that every man is spaced-out or that the men are completely spaced-out.
