Hi there my hillarious world war II, itallian-stationed, aeroplane-flying, commendably-skilled-at-table-tennis friend!
i have a question!
why is the prep. phrase "by a stroke of good fortune" (which modifies "knows") not an adverbial phrase if it modifies the verb?
thank you

@knoetercaffe "By a stroke of good fortune" is indeed adverbial, as I said at roughly 2:06. Thanks for watching!
