Adverbials/sentence
Message from a_limon posted on 12-07-2012 at 18:48:47 (D | E | F)
Hello!

I have one more question for today.
Would you be so kind to enlighten me on what adverbials must follow be first and second in the English sentence?
Is there any rule for that?
For example.
The flowers were in the vase on the table in the room. OR The flowers were in the room on the table in the vase
Or maybe, somehow else?
Thank you in advance.

Hello,

The flowers were in the vase, on the table, in the room. seems fine, you go from the more precise to the more general. there is no rule, it all depends on what you want to say.

Hello,
Gerondif I want to say only about the flowers that are in the vase. But the vase is on the table,that is in the room.
Not about the flowers, that are round about in the room, on the table and in the vase on the floor. I think there is no comma in the sentence.

Hello.

The flowers are in the vase.
The vase is on the table.
The table is in the room.

So, the flowers are in the vase (that is) on the table (that is) in the room.

See you.
