Default Re: Use of the Adverb "only"

Hi Casiopea

Does the adverb "only" precede the verb or noun, or does it follow just after it?

My NEW answers (with"only" underlined).


  • John only had three pencils and lost two.
  • No other girl but Ellen only was late for school.
  • Sam was the youngest in his class, as he was only seven and all the others were eight or more years old.
  • It rained on Wednesday only . Every other day in the week was fine.
  • If you only asked me I could have gone with you.
  • There had been two hundred thousand soldiers in the army. But only half of them now remained after the battle.
