I am writing an essay on negation and in my research found this statement on an English learners website.
[FONT='Times New Roman', serif]"The adverb nowhere is placed directly after the verb"
I just want to make sure if that is always the case. I tried to think of examples where it might not be the case but couldn't come up with any other than
" I can find him nowhere", where nowhere is actually not placed directly after the verb. I know that usually you would say " I can't find him anywhere"
anyway so the second part of my question is if "I can find him nowhere" is grammatically wrong?
Thank you for your help.[/FONT]
