The position of the adverb phrase of time " at night " in a sentence
Q: How did the boy's mother make extra money?
A: The boy mother's made extra money by sewing rosettes on silk garters for a penny a piece at night.
Can I rewrite the sentence by placing the time phrase "at night" in front of "by+v-ing" as " The boy's mother made extra money at night by sewing rosettes on silk garters for a penny a piece. Thanks.
