 88. Only 

The word only should be written in front of and next to the word or phrase it modifies. 

Compare:

 • Only John may play in the garden. (= John and nobody else may play in the garden.)

 • John may play only in the garden. (= John may play nowhere else.) 

• John may only play in the garden. (= John may play - but do nothing else - in the garden.)
