Morning!

Can you check out this sentence and give me your opinion on word order? :

'I will tell you the story at school tomorrow'.

Is it too bad if you write ' I will tell you the story tomorrow at school' ? How solid is the rule https://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/gramma ... r/positive.

Thanks for your help!

As a general rule, place precedes time; but there is nothing grammatically wrong with your second example and it may make perfect sense in context depending on what you wish to emphasize.

The sentence "I will tell you the story at school tomorrow " is correct according to the grammar. Sentence structure is proper.
