I am having trouble understanding the parts of speech in the phrase "The lamb was too hot to eat." I know that the phrase is structural ambigious, but cannot create the two seperate phrase structure trees because I don`t know what the label is for "to eat." The last to words of the sentence are not a prepositional phrase because there is not direct object -- so I am stumped... My GUESS? the - article lamb - noun is - verb too - adverb? hot - adjective to - participle? eat - verb? Thanks for any help -- I know this isn`t an english forum, but we`re filled with bright people...
