Sequence in the sentence.

I would like to know the difference between following sentences:

  • I am not coming by bus today, I will come by my own vehicle.
  • I am not coming today by bus, I will come at my own.
  • Today, I am not coming by bus, I will come by my own.

Out of these three examples which is/are correct?

Also,all the sentences after comma are right?

Please help! Emotion: sad

Thanks,

Harry

Hi I think only the first is correct. There is a small structural problem in the second sentence, I feel. Also, it is 'come by my own'.

  • Hi I think only the first is correct.
  • There is a small structural problem in the second sentence, I feel.
  • Also, it is 'come by my own'.
  • Third sentence: Toda y I am not coming by bus, I will come by my own.
  • There is no real difference in meaning.

Hi

I think only the first is correct.

There is a small structural problem in the second sentence, I feel. Also, it is 'come by my own'.

Third sentence:

Today I am not coming by bus, I will come by my own.

There is no real difference in meaning.

Hi,

I'm not coming by bus today. I'm coming by my car.

Today, I'm not coming by bus. I'm coming by my car.

The commas should be replaced with periods. Otherwise, your sentences are considered

run-on sentences, that is, you joined two independent clauses without correct punctuation.
