an adjective phrase or...

[frogprince]

There are some questions I found in a book named "Very Easy Reading." It's really easy, but I couldn't translate it into my language well. It's kind of strange to me. Please help me.

I make a sandwich. I like ham on my sandwich. And I like cheese, too. My mother likes tomatoes. I don't like tomatoes. Yucky! But I like ketchup. I like ketchup on my sandwich! Yummy!

In the sentence "I like ham on my sandwich." Is the phrase "on my sandwich" describing ham as an adjective or ...?

It certainly is describing the ham. It's telling the location of the ham.

I am not sure if you would call that whole phrase an adjective, though. I would call it a 'qualifying phrase'. But I could be wrong.

It is an adverbial modifier of place.

Yeah, that! ^^;;;

Setwale Charm, you seem to be very wise. Could you please take a look at my question in this forum, in the thread titled '----shire'?

Appearances are deceptive!
I`m afraid I am not much use with that thread. It`s been ages since I read those books, I do not even remember such a thing there.

Darn! Doesn't look like anyone else is around this time of the morning - I'm off to bed, I guess I'll check back in the morning.

Thanks anyway. G'night.
