I wouldn’t really call it a first date. We just got together. I’d had a fight with my roommate, Claire, and I almost decided to not go. I was in such a funk. Aaron suggested we VERB on the PLACE . It was a spring day– ADJECTIVE but still ADJECTIVE . We had a great time VERB + ING NOUN across the NOUN. I remember thinking that Aaron must be ADJECTIVE if he could get me out of my funk so ADVERB . He was ADJECTIVE and ADJECTIVE .
