Two quick questions.

Hi. I have two questions to this sentence:

A man walks alone down a quiet residential street.

Is 'alone' placed correctly?

Is it necessary to add 'the sidewalk of' after 'down' or will people already assume that he is walking on the sidewalk?

  

Top answer

Is 'alone' placed correctly? Yes. Or Alone, a man walks alone down a quiet residential street.
