A sentence is written as follows Of the remaining possible keys, only one is correct. Can this sentence be rewritten as: Only one of the remaining possible keys is correct. If so, does this means that the "of..." can always be moved to The first part of a sentence? -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 64.134.242.245

I think it depends on where the "of" appears in a

sentence.

For example, "Curry rice is one of his favorite

foods." If you change it to "Of his favorite foods

, curry rice is one." sounds awkward to me imho.

You can say that, with a few modifications.

e.g. Of all students, he is the smartest.

"He of all students is the smartest" seems bad

but "He, of all students, is the smartest." is OK

or "He is the smartest of all students."
