Part of Speech

[Ferdie]

Hi,

Can you determine what part of speech each words in the sentence are used below.

Sorry, no vacancies available currently.

I am a bit confused on how the word "available" used in this kind of sentence.

[Marius Hancu]

This is a clipped sentence.

Better ones:

Sorry, no vacancies are available currently.

which is an ellipsis from:

[We're sorry], because [no vacancies are available currently].

Now you have two clauses joined by because.

You should know how to analyze each of them. The first is the main clause, the 2nd is a causal subordinate, showing motive.

BTW, in:
are available

are: copular verb
available: adjective used as subject complement

What do you mean BTW?
And how'd you know all these?

[Marius Hancu]

Get a good grammar book, say Swan, Practical English Usage. It's all there.
BTW: by the way
And I know because I studied it (end to end) and other grammar books.

But I think I can also master all these stuff on the internet, don't I?

[Marius Hancu]

Another possible ellipsis would be from:

[We're] sorry [to tell you that] no vacancies are available currently.

which I'll leave to you for practice:)

Oh, to a large extent, yes, but you'll have to search a lot. Better to have 2-3 solid books. Also, for someone with your problems, Swan is really a must, I'd say.

But why some native speakers (especially teachers) say that you do not actually need all those thick grammar books in order to become fluent in english?
