Hi Native speakers,

Can anybody tell me, there is any difference between below sentences?

Example1:
Sen1: Yesterday, I went a movie.
Sen2: I went a movie, yesterday.

Example2:
Sen1: I believe, she will come tomorrow.
Sen2: She will come tomorrow, I believe.

You should remove the comma from the second sentence. There is no difference in meaning, but the first one emphasizes that it occurred yesterday. Maybe you would say it this way to contrast it to other days.

I did yard work all day yesterday. Oh wait, that's not right. I did yard work all day Tuesday. Yesterday, I went to a movie.


Example2:
Sen1: I believe, she will come tomorrow.
Sen2: She will come tomorrow, I believe.

Omit the comma from the first sentence. To my ears, the second one is more tentative. By adding "I believe" after your statement, you are showing less certainty.

Usually, sentences can have different structures, that means there are several versions available.
All your examples should be fully right now.
(In my opinion only the latest sentence needs a comma.)

P.S. I'm neither a teacher nor a native speaker... (don't blame me :lol:)

Oh no, I was too late :-(

Cheers!
 
Ah, but you noticed the missing "to" -- which had escaped my attention!
 
Hi Everybody,

Thanks for the explanation.:up:. I got the it.
