adverb placement
Where an adverb sits so it modifies the word you mean.
Place the adverb next to what it modifies. Put only, just, even, almost, and nearly immediately before the word or phrase they limit. Mid-position is normal for many adverbs of frequency and degree: She has always paid on time. Do not let only float to the front of the sentence if it is meant to restrict a later noun. A split infinitive is not an error when the adverb belongs with the verb: to clearly state.
Examples
Use She only signed the last page. (She did not write it.)
Use She signed only the last page. (Not the others.)
Avoid She only signed the last page. (If you meant the second sense.)
Use The firm hopes to fully fund the grant.
Casual speech parks only early in the sentence and lets stress carry the meaning. Put only where the limit is.
