Position of ONLY.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Please help me to understand the position of ONLY in the following sentences.
Here are the original sentences I have seen:
1. I only go home once a month.
2. You only live once.
Can we change the position of ONLY as below?
1. I go home only once a month. Or, I go home once a month only.
2. You live only once.
Aren't the above versions clearer? Please advise.
Regards,
