Re: grammar
A learner try
1) You need to complete Physics in this month; only. ("only" can be stressed here)
Alternatively, a bit more grammatical way might be
2) You only need to complete Physics in this month.
But, too much grammar might destroy the spirit of a language.

Re: grammar
I definitely prefer the second sentence here, particularly if you are using British English rather than American English.Tukanja wrote:A learner try

Another way to say it is:
In this month, you only need to complete Physics.

Re: grammar
What about the ways below to say the same? Are my 4 below sentences correct?PowerEnglish wrote:Another way to say it is:
In this month, you only need to complete Physics.
3) What you need to complete in this month is Physics.
4) What you need to complete this month is Physics.
5) Physics is what you need to complete in this month.
6) Physics is what you need to complete in this month, nothing else.
In my 6), I used "nothing else". What is "nothing else" called, regarding grammar, which phrase type is it?
Thanks

I would amend number 3 to include a comma:Tukanja wrote:

6) Physics is what you need to complete in this month, nothing else.
"What you need to complete in this month, is Physics."
I much prefer this option to number 4.
Numbers 5 and 6 are both correct.
