Which "however" is right and why ?
Hello everyone
as we know "however" can placed everywhere in sentence but in following sentences just one sentences has been accepted and it is :
1) He told me,however,the teacher he was ill and could not attend
2)However,he told the teacher that he was ill and could not attend
why sentence number 2 has accepted according my knowledge "however" can be placed everywhere in sentence and we conclude both of two sentences should be Right not just sentences number 2

19216801 1) He told me ,however, the teacher he was ill and could not attend This makes no sense. Did he tell you or the teacher? You can't have both.

- You can't have both.
- You can't put adverbs like however between a verb and its object, so you can't have told, however, the teacher .

Hello
I just have written this in our class ,when our teacher written this instance i thought we can choose both of them but he selected instance number 2
we conclude "however" can't placed everywhere in sentence and it just placed everywhere in sentence which we knew about it ?
I need another instance which is more complete for learning

19216801we conclude "however" can't placed everywhere in sentence and it just placed everywhere in sentence which we knew about it ?I am not able to understand your question very well, but I think I answered already that you can't place "however" anywhere you want in a sentence, if that's what you're asking. It usually comes at the beginning of the sentence.
