Can you tell me the differences among these sentences? All of these seem grammatically correct. But which is which? When do we need to use a particular sentence at a given situation? Help needed!  ^_^


Only I will love you.
I only will love you.
I will only love you.
I will love only you.
I will love you only.

so that I may honor you.

I only will love you.

Is this correct? I, alone, will love you. It should be like that. (-_-) sleeper here! pangs!

Only I will love you. This means that I will love you, and no one else will.
I only will love you. This means the same thing, except that it sounds odd.
I will only love you. This mean that that I will love you, but I will not like you, hate you, go out with you, etc.
I will love only you. This means that you will love no one else.
I will love you only. This means the same things, with slightly more emphasis on “only.”

I, alone, will love you. This means the same as sentence one.

So all of the above sentences are correct. fran, perhaps, couldn’t find the right expression for the one he love. Speak now or forever be silent. Cool! sleeper here! (-_-) feeling sleepy ...

sounds fishy…......why don’t you just say it to Macris face to face Fran. I’ll cheer for you.

Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it, and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work—and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.

Sounds fishes? Oops! Wrong word.
I would rather use sentence two. It sounds poetic.
