I am immensely pleased to certify ...

[mrmvp]

Whenever I use a grammar checker (Grammarly), it always suggests sentence one, not two.

1. I am immensely pleased to certify --
2. It gives me immense pleasure to certify --

Another example sentence:

1. The burglar aggressively attacked the house.
2. The burglar attacked the house aggressively.

I wonder why the structure "subject + adverb + verb" is considered favorable over using the adverb at the end of the sentence, as in sentence four. I am a bit puzzled about when to use which.

They're all grammatically correct. I can't tell you why AI chooses one over the other. In real life in a formal setting, I would use sentence 2. I wouldn't use it in an informal setting at all. Sentence 1 sounds odd because "immensely" isn't an adverb that commonly collocates with "pleased".

I wouldn't use 3 or 4. Burglars don't attack houses, so they don't do it aggressively or otherwise.
