Is that information correct?

Hello everyone,

In a grammar book, I saw a rule which says: "You can put "adverbial prepositional phrases" whereever you want. It doesn't cause the meaning to be lost."

I am curious about the truthness of that.

I know, we can say:"From me, you will get an email" instead of "You will get an email from me".

Just as this,

Can I say: "On the shelf, you should put your toothpaste" instead of "You should put your toothpaste on the shelf" ?

Thank you in advance.

Jawel "You can put "adverbial prepositional phrases" whereever you want. "wherever you want" is clearly untrue. Are you sure there weren't any restrictions or qualifications?
