where is the "Assertion"???
Hello all,
We,my classmates and I are facing a problim with (Assertion and non-assertion) by shifting an adverbial in a sentence, eg:
He studied carfully last night.
Carefully he studied last night.
He studied last night carefully.
I mean when we shift or prefix an element such as the adverbial mentioned above, which part of the sentence we assert? the element or the rest of the sentence?
I hope you understand my question and many thanks in advance.

Hi IraqiTranslator
Your sentence is not a good candidate for moving the word 'carefully' around. "He studied carefully last night" is fine, but if you move the word 'carefully', the sentence only becomes awkward. So I wouldn't change the placement of the word 'carefully' in that sentence. You could move the time reference to the beginning of the sentence, however:
Last ni
