Adverb position

0 Hi everybody, 02br
02br
00I've got a little problem with this sentence: 02br
02br
00"The book should be written entirely in English." 02br
02br
00I'm not too sure where to put the adverb entirely - before or after written? 02br
02br
00Thanks in advance, 02br

0 You can place the adverb "entirely" before or after the past participle "written" in your sentence. Both ways, the sentence would still mean the same. 0-

0 Hi, 02br
00Sometimes, grammar allows you to put a word at different places in a sentence,as in this example. In such cases, I tend to feel that, as a general rule, moving the word closer to the front of the sentence gives it a little more emphasis. 02br
00Best wishes, 02br
