At a profit loss
Message de babeth54 posté le 12-03-2009 à 22:59:30 (S | E | F)
Hello

I have to do a sentence with "at a profit". I want to mean that the firms which do benefits are not numerous :

The firms at a profit are more and more rare.
Is it correct ?

Thank you

Babeth

Hello

I saw in Wordreference that "At a profit" is an adjective ?

Good evening,
No, it's not! at all! you can consider it as an adverbial phrase. You "do" something at a profit!
Bye for now.
