In the sentence, "The runaway train went over the hill" woukd went be an auxilary verb, or would over be the adverbial?

Brain = numb from transcript analysing, I'd probably be able to figure otherwise.

Thanks in advance.

wouldnt that be "not to", instead of "to not" ?

That's why I love it. I'm just so damned pedantic and it's ironic because I'm lazy. So whilst I correct others I can be slaughtered myself.

Do you have msn, sweet maiden Clazon?

You can use your Latin skills to help with my pragmatism analysis, and receive hot porn linxorz.

This is where my knowledge and studying of Latin helps greatly. It's the only way anyone learns English grammar.

Thanks for that, doesn't help test adverbials though :-(

I think it probably isn't though, it would've made the essay easier.

We just sit around reading poems all day.
