Hi Hat Gray They are both OK. I'd say the first is more usual. It's difficult to say when, in English, the adverb moves to the front: - She ran quickly to her grandmother - She quickly ran to her grandmother There is a slight emphasis in the second: the girl runs especially quickly because it is her grandmother that she has seen.

- - We must follow up the case closely - We must closely follow up the case It's only a slight difference: in the second, the case especially deserves our close attention That's my thought, Dave
