In three to five sentences, explain how the placement of the italicized phrase changes the meaning of the sentence.
(In kids words)
In the first sentence, it is saying that Marsha needs to save $10 each week in order to reach her goal of buying a new bike. This means that she has to save $10 every week to be able to buy the bike eventually.
In the second sentence, it is saying that Marsha needs to save $10 each week to reach her goal of buying a new bike. This means that in order to buy a new bike every week, she has to save $10. So the placement of the phrase "each week" changes the meaning from saving for one bike over time to saving for multiple bikes every week.
