A mother does not need to be drunk to beat her daughter. The odd thing in the write up is the reason for the beating "because she was drunk" this can possibly be that the mother got mad and beat up her daughter for being drunk. Therefore, it was the daughter that was drunk. |

BigBelleControl: Bruv in this case...Drunk isn't a verb |
Re: Test Your English Proficiency Here (picture) by auska2(m): 11:09am On Jan 07, 2018 |
the mother eg the mother beat her daughter because she was angry .so who was angry? |
Re: Test Your English Proficiency Here (picture) by Nobody: 11:11am On Jan 07, 2018 |
BigBelleControl: U are partly right by correctly spotting and naming the clause. However, your conclusion was wrong. ''because she was drunk' is the clause trying to throw more light on the finite verb ''beat'' So jumping into the conclusion that it was the daughter was rather hasty. It could also be that neighbours who knew the mother as caring and over protective were wondering why she beat her daughter on that fateful Day and the answer to their questions prompted this sentence. So, I will say it's a 2way statement! There are lots Of them in English |

Re: Test Your English Proficiency Here (picture) by obatoro: 12:45pm On Jan 07, 2018 |
The mother was drunk.
The daughter was not beaten for being drunk. |
Re: Test Your English Proficiency Here (picture) by Bahddo(m): 12:46pm On Jan 07, 2018 |
Not enough info to tell which it is. Only says the reason for the slap, but isn't clear about who was drunk. Writers should always avoid ambiguity, unless it's for a good reason. |
Re: Test Your English Proficiency Here (picture) by Sugar97(f): 1:16pm On Jan 07, 2018 |
echelons: How about drink and beat someone? Its also action and consequence. Beating another because u're drunk |

It is the daughter, using the law of proximity. |
Re: Test Your English Proficiency Here (picture) by techJ: 3:01pm On Jan 07, 2018 |
It's really funny that a lot of people here are so sure it's the mother that was drunk, while others were sp sure that it's the daughter. The truth is, both groups are correct. The statement is contracted, thus became ambigious. If we expand the statement, then we can get the specific meaning. For example, these 2 statements can be deducted or inferred: A mother beat hee daughter because the daughter was drunk Or A mother beat her daughter because the mother was drunk. |

Re: Test Your English Proficiency Here (picture) by Jhayeahsam01(m): 3:40pm On Jan 07, 2018 |
you all failed simple English in this scenario ****the cane she use to beat the daugher was drunk **** the phrasal verb of this action is synometrical to the effect of the cane... not indicating maybe it was sugar cane or canosynthesis koboko.. in reference to the standard cambridge english mesmarising the action of mother to daughter via cane is called logical parental PUNISHMENT |
Re: Test Your English Proficiency Here (picture) by MightySparrow: 3:56pm On Jan 07, 2018 |
Because the woman,, the daughter,, and the OP were drunk..... Why asking me such question? |
Re: Test Your English Proficiency Here (picture) by mychaty: 4:48pm On Jan 07, 2018 |
Let's look at it this way "because" in this context explains the action of the sentence. The action of the sentence is someone beating the other. Now the reason "being drunk" explains why the action "beating" was carried out by "who?"..... the mother!!! So, the mother was the one drunk Butressing, If the daughter were to be the one drunk, the sentence should have been presented as "A mother beat her daughter for being drunk" |
Re: Test Your English Proficiency Here (picture) by Dhorcas(f): 6:16pm On Jan 07, 2018 |
