Hi, not to worry, this is not meant to test you.
Which of these sentences are correct? 1, 2 or both? Would also appreciate some explanations too ..
Set 1:Set 2:
- Peter runs with his dog every day.
- Peter runs every day with his dog.
TIA!
- Who went with Peter to the library?
- Who went to the library with Peter?
Actually all four sentences are grammatically correct.
It depends on which word/term is placed higher in importance. True, the sentence 'peter runs every day with his dog' sounds strange, but it isn't grammatically wrong.
One occasion you might write it this way is if you wish to stress the time.
For example, "Peter goes for a run every morning at 630 with his dog".
For set 2, sentence 1 can be used as a clarification question. Say for example 3 friends are gossiping about Peter going to the library with a girl (secret date).
Person 1: hey, did you know that Peter went to the library with Gill?
Person 2: wow! I didn't know they were seeing each other!
Person 3: Who did you say? Who went with Peter to the library?
so in conclusion, all sentences are grammatically correct, just that some might sound a bit strange and hence are not frequently used.

actually, sentence construction/structure is grammar... I think what you are commenting on has more to do with preference rather than structureThey may all be grammatically correct, but grammar is not the only thing in English language!
Sentence construction/ stucture is also just as important and some of these are incorrect in structure.
just because it is awkward does not make it wrong...Peter runs every day with his dog - wrong... 'every day' should not be in the middle of a sentence. It is an awkward sentence construction when put in the middle. 'Every day' should either be in front or at the end. E.g.:
Every day, Peter runs with his dog - also correct.
not necessarily... in the case in set 1, his daily repetition could be more important, like if medical advice were sought... in set 2, someone might be asking who it was who was with Peter rather than where the destination was... its just a matter of context...Just imagine, if I tell you I go. Your next question would be where? Not with who. So I should say I go to the library or I went to the library. "with Peter" is extra information, not essential information, so it should be put at the back.
logic is relative... although English normally follows the form ofLanguage should follow a logical sequence. While sentence 1 may not be wrong, sentence 2 is definitely a better sentence and should be chosen over sentence 1.
er... its a bit more complicated than that... nouns are a class of words, not a part of speech... part of speech would be subject, verb, object, complement, but it is true that nouns can form parts of those 4 parts of speech...Place is just a noun... it can be used as any other noun... you can put it anywhere in the sentence.
Looking at the sentences as they are, below are my views:
Set 1 - Peter runs with his dog everyday is correct.
Set 2 - Shouldn't it be 'who did Peter go with to the library'?
