请问以下介词短语是表示地址的状语还是修饰名词的定语?
He offered me a lift in his car.
There are a large number of valuable antiques on display.
He offered me a lift in his car.(lift 的 定语)
There are a large number of valuable antiques on display.(antiques 的定语)
句(1)offered 这个动作不是发生在 in his car 里,排除作地址状语的可能。
句(2)on display 指antiques 的“展出、展览的状况”,不是展出、展览的地址。所以作定语。
