And in this case, where?
Nearby.
And then I said, I would have loved to be spending weekends at a nearby beach.
And it's an adjective here describing beach.
Where is the beach?
Nearby.
So it's followed by a noun phrase, right?
The library, near the library.
And we can't use nearby.
We don't use it as a preposition.
Yeah.
For something to be really difficult.
And it's true.
If I lived, if my college town were near a beach, getting grades would have been an uphill battle for me.
I would have been at the beach all the time.
I'd probably failed out.
And then I said, well, in the near future, I hope to live by a beach.
So an adjective here in that chunk, in the near future, just meaning soon.
Exactly.
Absolutely.
