   Hi, Anton Shepelev! ->Alexander Koryagin   
   I read your message from 16.02.2020 19:48   
      
    AK>> a bit funny. Aware of the loud beating of my own heart I pulled   
    AK>> the door to against the increasing rain.   
    AK>> Is "against" a verb?   
      
    AS> No, but "to" is not a sign of the infinitive either. It is a   
    AS> preposition depending on "pull" and acting upon an implied noun   
    AS> (jamb): pull the door snugly to the jamb to shut off bad weather.   
      
   I hope I'll read this book to the end. ;)   
      
   Bye, Anton!
