English Language Learners Asked by SoulAndBone on February 10, 2021
I’ve been struggling with this aspect of the English language and i don’t know if there are some rules to it that can help me. I’ve looked for answers on the internet but so far i haven’t found anything that can help me clear my mind on this issue.
I was writing this phrase :
“I called at your offices immediately to report the situation and I was assured that it would be repaired soon”
Is there a rule of when the “immediately goes”?
I could rephrase it into this:
“I immediately called at your offices to report the situation and I was assured that it would be repaired soon”
Or even:
“I called immediately at your offices to report the situation and I was assured that it would be repaired soon” (a grammar tool i have on my computer suggests in this particular phrase to change the at to a “to”)
Are any of those interchangeable?
Thanks in advance
To "call at" is either nautical, regarding ships, or else perhaps a britishism? Usually we just say call. "Call their office."
