Grammar
before and after clauses
When we use 'before and after" clauses and 'yesterday', I wonder the order of the words.
(1) Yesterday, before I went to school, I practiced playing the piano.
(2) Before I went to school yesterday, I practiced playing the piano.
(3) Before I went to school, I practiced playing the piano yesterday.
What is the correct one of 3 senteces ?
(1) Yesterday, before I went to school, I practiced playing the piano.
(2) Before I went to school yesterday, I practiced playing the piano.
(3) Before I went to school, I practiced playing the piano yesterday.

Anonymous What is the correct one of 3 senteces ? Well, natives wouldn't include 'playing', but otherwise the adverb can go in any of those positions: Yesterday before I went to school, I practiced the piano. Before I went to school yesterday, I practiced the piano.
