6.91 adding information
There are several structures you can use with indefinite place adverbs in order to give more information. You can use an adverb of place:
- I would like to work somewhere abroad.
- We're certainly nowhere near.
an adjective:
- We could go to Majorca if you want somewhere lively.
- Are you going somewhere special?
a prepositional phrase:
- There were no elms anywhere in sight.
- In 1917, Kollontai was the only woman in any government anywhere in the world.
or a 'to'-infinitive clause:
- We mentioned that we were looking for somewhere to live.
- I wanted to have somewhere to put it.
You can also use a relative clause. Note that the relative pronoun is usually omitted.
- Unreason is alive and well and living anywhere you care to name.
- Everywhere I went, people were angry or suspicious.
