Grammar

previously, she was a / she was a "", previously

Hello there,

Do the 3 sentences below convey the same meaning and are they all correct?

1. Previously, she was a lawyer.

2. She was previously a lawyer.

3. She was a lawyer previously.

Which rule of grammar governs the positioning of the adjective "previously"? Thank you very much.

All fine-- and you can place it after 'she', too. Many adverbs of time are relatively versatile in placement. The end of the sentence is normally the position of emphasis.
