AMBIGUITY

(a) My brother congratulated his friend on

winning first prize in the local photographic

exhibition.

(b) My brother, delighted to have won first prize

in the local photographic exhibition, told his

friend.

The other possibility is rather clumsy but is

otherwise clear:

(c) My brother told his friend that he (his friend)

had won first prize.

(d) My brother told his friend that he (my

brother) had won first prize.

(ii) Position the adverb ONLY with great care. It

will refer to the word nearest to it, usually the

word following. This may not be the meaning

you intended. See how crucial to the meaning

the position of 'only' can be:

ONLY Sean eats fish on Fridays.

(= No one else but Sean eats fish on Fridays.)

Sean ONLY eats fish on Fridays.

(= Sean does nothing else to the fish on Fridays

but eat it. He doesn't buy it, cook it, look at it,

smell it...)

Sean eats ONLY fish on Fridays.

(= Sean eats nothing but fish on Fridays.)

Sean eats fish ONLY on Fridays.

Sean eats fish on Fridays ONLY.

(= Sean eats fish on this one day in the week

and never on any other.)

(iii) Take care with the positioning of BADLY.

This room needs cleaning BADLY.

Does it? Or does it not need cleaning well?
