I have to identify the syntax used in these two sentences and explain.



A. After a short vacation in Japan, Mr Chang appeared in my office, fresh and relaxed.



B. After a short vacation in Japan, Mr Chang appeared fresh and relaxed in my office.



So far, I was trying to break down the phrases used in the sentences like this:




  • In both sentences it can be analysed that it starts off with a prepositional phrase After a short vacation in Japan.


  • My understanding is prepositional phrase is a group of words made up of a preposition, its object, and any of the object's modifiers.


  • Then it moves along to the subject of the sentence, Mr Chang.


  • The word appeared in the sentences is a verb.



Is that correct? Could you please help?

    Thanks! I've edited your question so all this useful information is available in the body of it, in one place. It's better than than in comments, which are messy and sometimes disappear. It's best to include all such details in the write-up when you post a question (useful info for next time)
