placement of tomorrow

[ademoglu]

Hi,

1. I am going to the auto gallery tomorrow to buy a car.
2-I am going to the auto gallery to buy a car tomorrow.

I feel a little confused about whether or not there is any difference in meaning between the two sentences above. I may be thinking in my own language when trying to explain it to you, but here's what I'm thinking:

The first one is that it is obvious that I am going to the auto gallery tomorrow and will be getting a car there.
The second one is that it is not clear when I am going to the gallery. Maybe I am going there now, but it is clear that I am purchasing a car there tomorrow.

Can you please tell me if there is any difference between the two? If so, can you explain it to me? Which sentence sounds better to you?

The first one is that it is obvious that I am going to the auto gallery tomorrow and will be getting a car there.
The second one is that it is not clear when I am going to the gallery. Maybe I am going there now, but it is clear that I am purchasing a car there tomorrow.

Without evidence to the contrary, the second will be interpreted in the same way as you have interpreted the first.

Note that BrE doesn't use "auto gallery". We use "car showroom".

 

[Yankee]

Or "car dealer" in AmE.

 

[Tarheel]

Or automobile dealership.

And if you are sure you are going to buy a car there you must be confident that you can make a good deal.

You could even begin the sentence with 'tomorrow', and have no change in meaning. It would put a bit more emphasis on the time frame, but it wouldn't alter the meaning.

Bear in mind, Ademoglu, that if you start with "Tomorrow", you'll need a comma after it.
