Hello everyone,
Forvirring slo til atter en gang!
I read in a book: Støvelen lå ensom på senga (Or something along those lines, but it's not really important for the example)
In another sentence in Ringenes Herre I read something along the lines of "Frodo sto taus ved stolen...." and again, I would have expected taust.
My question is, why is it ensom? I expected "ensomt", since it's just describing how they lay, in the same way we don't say "han oppførte seg god" but "Han oppførte seg godt" etc. But I've obviously misunderstood at some point or gone wrong somewhere!
Thanks

Typo, I meant støvelen not støvlene!
