What do you think eerily is?

bookworm14 · Answer

eerily is an adjective because it describes the dark 

but i am confused because it is saying "before the storm" and that describes eerily dark ....WHEN was it eerily dark? before the storm which would make it adverb phrase 

BUT 

"before the storm" describes eerily dark, which is an adjective so would that make it adjective phrase?

Honestly its been years since I attempted questions like these. But I think eerily is an adjective and before the dark is adverb.

Yeah you should. Before the dark is called 'adverb phrase'. That's what I believe.
