A group of words consisting of an adverbial object with its modifier or modifiers forms an adverbial phrase ([§ 41]).
6. Objective in Apposition
110. A substantive in apposition with an objective is itself in the objective case.
- Yesterday I saw Williams the expressman. [Apposition with the direct object of saw.]
- Tom gave his friend John a book. [Apposition with the indirect object friend.]
- He lives with Andrews the blacksmith. [Apposition with the object of the preposition with.]
This rule follows from the general principle that an appositive is in the same case as the substantive to which it is attached ([§ 88, 5]).
7. Subject of an Infinitive
111. The subject of an infinitive is in the objective case.
This construction will be treated in connection with the uses of the infinitive ([§ 325]).
Parsing
112. To parse a word is to describe its grammatical form and to give its construction.
