Hello all,
I dont know the proper board to go to so i thought to ask here,
English is not my first language and something keeps coming up in the language that is confusing
>it actually is
>it is actually
Which is correct to put first? The word "is" or the word "actually"
Thank you for your time

it's actually
or it is actually
>>
>>18097657
I don't see a difference, it doesn't really matter as far as I'm aware.
>>
>>18097657
>it is actually
This one's more common.
>it actually is
This one's still correct, but I'd say it sounds more like the speaker is surprised (e.g. "Oh, it actually is the correct bus route"). The other one is more explanatory.

Both are correct. Generally the order of adverbs is pretty much up to the speaker and what they prefer or what feels appropriate for the situation. It really depends on what you want to emphasise.
>>
>it is actually
>it actually is
>actually, it is
all are correct. The ordering has some subtle effect on word emphasis, however, as it tends to stress the last word in the clause:
>it is ACTUALLY
>it actually IS
>actually, it IS
