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.)
