Hello, teachers.
Would you tell me what a "half-enclosed porch" mean? I checked some images of "enclosed porches" and found that they have large windows and a roof. But I could not find pictures of a "half-enclosed porch". Does this mean it has a roof but no walls?

No, that would still be a porch. A porch can have a roof or no roof. As you may have seen, an enclosed porch is where a home-owner takes their porch and puts walls and windows all around it. A half-enclosed porch means they just put walls and windows around half of their porch. See here:
