ズラリと並んだ本棚 (bookshelves lined with books)
Grammar & Usage
How it works
This phrase combines an adverbial expression 'ズラリと' (describing a long row or dense arrangement) with the past tense of a verb '並ぶ' (to line up, to be arranged) modified by 'と' to show manner, and then modifies the noun '本棚' (bookshelf). The structure is [adverb] + [verb in past tense] + [noun], functioning as a descriptive noun phrase. It specifically refers to bookshelves that are full or densely arranged.
