Can we sit and talk in peace now?
Hello.
Can we sit and talk in peace now?
Does the sentence above mean that the talking will be peaceful or they will sit in a quiet place?
Top answer
Technically it is ambiguous whether "in peace" applies to both verbs or only to "talk", but the practical difference in meaning is too small for us to normally worry about this.
