Regarding the position of adverbs, we Korean ESL teachers say to students
Place -> Manner -> Time order is applied.
For example,
we say "I read a book at the library with my friend yesterday"
"I'm going to Paris by bus on Monday"
But, I just googled about the rule and all of ESL pages say
the order is normally Manner -> Place -> Time.
For instance "I studied very hard at school yesterday"
"Peter sang the song happily in the bathroom yesterday evening"
Then.... is it correct to say
"I read a book with my friend at the library yesterday"?
How about
"Peter sang the song in the bathroom happily yesterday evening"?
Thanks in advance. ^^;;;
