Is there any difference between 'I need only to do smth' and 'I only need to do smth'?
I have read somewhere that depending on where the word 'only' in the sentence is the meaning of that sentence can be changed.
In my opinion, the position of "only" in a sentence will have an impact on the meaning of the sentence. So we should try to use "only" logically. Let's see this example:
He only told me to do this. (Meaning: He was the one who told me to do this)
He told me only to do this. (Meaning: He did not tell me to do other things)
I hope you agree...
Thanks!

'answer' typo
You received only one correct answer to your question. But since you know all I won't bother to point out the correct one.

Vera, let's face it. You are an ingrateful, rude know-it-all.
Go ahead and use wanna, gonna, ain't, etc. You'll look like a genius.
By the way, you never did answered my question.
