A time of prosperity and peace - is a noun phrase you analysed absolutely correctly. In general, noun phrases may have the following constituent parts: a) the head , around which the other constituents cluster. In your case, it is time ; b) the determinative , which includes - predeterminers , all items which precede any central determiner in a noun phrase, eg all, both, half (there are no predeterminers in your case); - central determiners , such as articles, this/that, some, etc. In your example, a is a central determiner; - postdeterminers , follow central determiners but precede premodifiers...http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhoOrWhoWithInfinitive/lpbzh/post.htm#993114Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:01:28 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:993114avangiGreetings, my friend. I looked at this a few hours ago and gave up on it. I'm glad you tackled it. I'm too old to fight about using subjective case for objects. But my instincts let me down on what modifies what. (I know CJ thinks worring about modifiers is counterproductive.) I know where to go. (same sentence - no case conflict) I'm as comfortable saying that "where" is what I know and "to go" answers the question; as I am to say that "to go" is what I know and "where" modifies it. "To go" isn't a transitive verb. Why does it have to have an object anyway? Why is "where" such a great direct object? Best wishes, - A. Edit.

The proper puncuation is a colon (:), not a comma. I see nothing at all wrong with a comma. Example "Dear whom it may concern:" I suggest that you search for and read the various threads here that deal with 'To whom it may concern'. Many learners on the Forum do not realize in what circumstances and how seldomly this phrase is to be used. The appropriate greeting if you are writing to a person whose name you do not know is as follows Dear Sir Dear Madam Dear Sir or Madam.
