Understanding Sentence Meaning Through Word Position

The position of one word changes the meaning of the sentence. Consider the following examples with the word "only":

- Only he said that he loved her.
- He only said that he loved her.
- He said only that he loved her.
- He said that only he loved her.
- He said that he only loved her.
- He said that he loved only her.
- He said that he loved her only.

Follow the word "only" to see how it changes the meaning of each sentence. This example is quoted during my training on "COMMUNICATION."
