Choose the grammatically correct sentence.
Answer: B
Correct answer: I went to the bank yesterday to collect the pass book.
English word order in a simple statement is verb, then place, then time, then purpose. This sentence follows it exactly.
Why the others fail:
- I went yesterday to the bank - the time adverb is wedged between the verb and its destination.
- Yesterday to collect the pass-book I went to the bank - two adverbials are stacked ahead of the subject.
- To collect the pass-book yesterday, I went to the bank - yesterday now attaches to the collecting rather than to the going.
