Question

：

Wilbur went to live in a manure pile。

1。 to live是做什麼成分的？

作狀語修飾went？類似於to school修飾went

還是作主語的補足語？

2。 in a manure pile是否修飾live？

alexcwlin comments：

You are correct on both counts。

1。 “to live” is an Adverbial Infinitive modifying the Verb “went” in indicating where Wilbur “went”；

i。e。， “to live” is not a Subject Complement。

2。 “in a manure pile” is a Prepositional Adverbial Phrase modifying “live” by telling where Wilbur went to live。
