lexical order
A book says:
She sometimes helps children near her house with their homework.
1.Can I write this way:
She sometimes helps children with their homework near her house.
2.What's the difference between these two? Or Which one is correct?
I don'd know how to write these kinds of sentences in correct lecial order.
Thank you.

It does make a difference in meaning In the first sentence 'children + near her house' means that the children she is helping are from the area near her house. In the second sentence 'with their homework + near her house' means that the homework is being done near her house, it doesn't say anything about where the children are from.
