I came across this sentence:
A tiny filed mouse had been out in the wood that day gathering nuts.
Does had been out in the wood mean had been out from the wood? If so, what is the difference between them?
In addition, does "A tiny filed mouse had been out to the wood" make sense?
Best Answer
If you say that somebody is out it can mean that they are not at home. The tiny field mouse was not at home, it was in the wood all day gathering nuts.
