Tim looked up at the building impatiently. "Where is he?"


Are both placements of "impatiently" OK? Is there a difference in meaning?

anonymous Are both placements of "impatiently" OK? Yes, and the meaning is the same, but I find it slightly odd to separate the phrasal verb "look up" with an adverb, so I'd use the second version. CJ
