Often in a sentence

[Rachel Adams]

Hello.

I wrote this sentence in my essay but changed it into the second sentence. 1. "This dish we try to make not often."

2. "We don't often try to make this dish". But I thought if I write "We try not to make this dish often" does it have a different meaning?

Stick to #2.

#2. Same meaning for both. #1 Affirmative, "we try" and negative, "make not" are conflicting.

Your thread title should be "Often" in a sentence. Without the quotation marks, it means "This is a thread about something that happens frequently in one particular sentence".

Please don't forget to use quotation marks correctly in future thread titles.

Yes, but do both have the same meaning? 2. "We don't often try to make this dish". And "We try not to make this dish often"
