Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it’s hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.



















  • The grammatical structure of the sentence is OK, and the meaning is the same as that of 'It can be something other than a place'. Beyond that, there isn't much to say about it that is within the domain of this site; any further elucidation of its meaning would involve analysing the substance of the specific text in which it appears, rather than explaining something about English language and usage.
