LenaLi  +  581401 Wed, 29 Oct 08 11:50 AM The other day in class we were doing the next exercise:               Put these adverbs and adverbial phrases in the correct place:              They spend their holidays. (in October / in the Bahamas / sometimes) I thought the correct order was: They sometimes spend their holidays in the Bahamas in October. But my teacher told it was: They sometimes spend their holidays in October in the Bahamas. I thought place adverbs preceded time adverbs. Now I'm confused.
