Re: "It can comfortably be eaten" or "It can be eaten comfortably". Which sounds natu
My approach to English is a little different to some. To me, there is a subtle difference between the various ways we have formed this sentence throughout this discussion. If I was writing something highly informative, I would take the time to consider such matters, and chose my words with care for such fine points, or even completely rephrase something until I was satisfied that the meaning was given with clarity and eloquence.
Note: I do not usually go to such lengths on this forum.
Yes, your example is fine, and it is very similar indeed to the other examples. But it is not identical.
However, you need to ask if that matters? Most of the time, the answer will be "no", so just use whichever of these forms you prefer.
Only remember this: When you write something,
you know what
you mean, so if your sentence contains ambiguity you might not notice it. The meaning will be perfectly clear to you. If you have time, put your writing aside for several days or a week, then come back and see if the meaning is instantly clear to you. If you find you have to think back on what your point was to make sense of what you wrote, then you have not written your story clearly enough
When you write - and later proofread - try to be mindful of this fact.
