Thank you very much for your help.
What about the following?
1. Look at the boy there.
2. He knows the boy there.
3. He saw the boy there.
Does 'there' modify 'the verb' or ' the noun phrase'?

I know you want "there" to be an adjective modifying "boy" even though the standard use for "there" is as an adverb. It tells where.
