Dear Kohyoongliat

Placing an adverb is related to and necessitated by the factual situation as in the following illustration:
Only he hugged her at the park yesterday.
He only hugged her at the park yesterday.
He hugged only her at the park yesterday.
He hugged her only at the park yesterday.
He hugged her at the park only yesterday.:laughing:
