Hi.

I'd like to know which is the correct sentence:
'I was already sensitive to...'; or
'I already was sensitive to...'
Is it just a question of preference of writing?

Previously, thank you.

The first one is the most natural.

I agree with Bhai, but the other choice is not wrong.

Thank you, Bhai and Mike. You really helped me. :)

Your appreciation is welcome but there is no need to write a new post to say Thank you. Simply click the Thank button on any posts you find helpful. It means that we don't have to open the thread again to read your new post and then find that it doesn't include any new information or an additional question.

It saves everybody's time.
