The position of An Adverb (Each)
- My brother and I were each entrusted with one blade.
I've just learnt that "each" in the sentence is an adverb.
There's a question that I'd like to put to you which is out of curiosity.
Are the following sentences all grammatical ones? If not, would you tell me which one is right and which one is not right?
- My brother and I each were entrusted with one blade.
- My brother and I were entrusted each with one blade.
- My brother and I were entrusted with one blade each.
