I do not think drunk students should be allowed into class in the first place. |
I believe the word "drunk" here functions as a "dangling participle" - (where it is unclear whether the participle refers to the subject or the object) possibly the coolest bit of ELT terminology (in terms of naming) I've come across. I might be wrong though...
Anyway
I drink a lot. Life's usually better when I'm drunk, why the hell not?  |
