问题描述：
He informed the station at once,but no one there was able to explain the mystery.
no one there was able to explain the mystery.
在这句中there 怎么放在no one 和was之间,为什么不放在句首或句末?
to grow so large
so large 是形容词作状语 修饰 grow么?
答
there 是作为状语前置
这个grow做系动词用 比如be动词 或者look ,feel 之类的 后面可以直接接形容词 而不是用来修饰前面这个动词
答
1）原句中there副词作定语,放在被修饰词之后.这是个别情况.类似的还有The people there/here like singing.(那里的/这里的人喜欢唱歌.) 原句中的后半句there放在句首：but there was no one able to explain the mystery 是there be 句型.
2）grow so large 是“系动词+形容词”构成系表结构,类似的用法的词还有：taste good ,feel soft,sound reasonable,look nice,smell good等等.
