English Language & Usage Asked on December 2, 2020
Can a phrase “Thanks to the wizardry of modern technology /…/” be considered as a non-finite verb form (infinitive, gerund or participle)?
What function does it have?
Thank you.
No, since "thanks to" introduces an adjunct whose meaning is similar to that of "because of" https://dictionary.cambridge.org/de/worterbuch/englisch/thanks There are no verbal traces in what follows it, apart from the main clause that would come after your dots, obviously.
