The verb "to get" + particle ...?
In the phrase "to get all crazy" am I correct when I say that the "all crazy" is a particle phrase? Example:
I'm up for tonight's party. I'm going to get all crazy.
Solution 1:
It is not a particle phrase. A particle phrase is a phrase consisting of the particle associated with the phrasal verb, the particle's modifiers (if any), and (though some do not include this) the direct object:
He pulled off the sticker. (Or, as some define it: He pulled off the sticker, or He pulled the sticker right off)
In your example, I is the subject, am going to is an idiomatic verb phrase describing the future tense, get is the copula (or linking verb), and all crazy would be called the predicate or subject complement, and specifically a predicate-adjective phrase.
Solution 2:
Get is a linking verb here, as it means become. So the phrase all crazy is a complement, a phrase that describes the subject of the verb.
Solution 3:
I don’t know the term particle phrase, I’m afraid. In the sentence ‘I'm going to get all crazy’, get acts as a copulative verb. The structure is much the same as ‘I'm going to be all crazy.’ 'All crazy' is the complement of 'get', but you may also know it as subject predicative.
