Something I saw on tumblr. Might actually be useful to me as a reminder since I have a strange tendency to arrange words oddly sometimes when I'm writing in a hurry.
Place the word 'only' anywhere on the sentence:
"She told him that she loved him."
- Only she told him that she loved him. (She was the only one of six women that did)
- She only told him that she loved him. (Like what else was she gonna tell 'im?)
- She told only him that she loved him. (No-one else. They eloped the next day)
- She told him only that she loved him. (She considered it the only pertinent fact)
- She told him that only she loved him. (So you're not getting any better offers, boyo)
- She told him that she only loved him. (Not that she was willing to die for him, WTF?)
- She told him that she loved only him. (No other man for her. Honestly, your honour)
- She told him that she loved him only. (... to stab him through the heart?)
