    Put only as close to the object you’re trying to modify as possible.

    The placement of the word only can change the meaning of the sentence:

    • Only deploy a Capella database this month. (Don’t do anything else with the database)

    • Deploy only a Capella database this month. (Don’t deploy another type of database)

    • Deploy a Capella database only this month. (Don’t do anything else this month)

    • Deploy a Capella database this month only. (Don’t deploy a database any other time)

    Think carefully about what you’re trying to say and put only in the correct place to modify your sentence.
