Last week’s options were

  • I especially like Indian summer. (7 votes)
  • I like especially Indian summer. (0 votes)

All votes were correct – so my students weren’t voting ;) .  Adverb placement is one of the trickiest issues in English grammar. As a rule of thumb, place them before the verb, but after an auxiliary verb (be, have):

  • Indian summer is especially nice when it lasts into November.
  • Unfortunately, I have never experienced it in New England.

This week, decide between two options:

  • This has to be done until Friday.
  • This has to be done by Friday.
