Help(please)
Hi, there
Between "Which countries speak mostly English?" and "Which countries mostly speak English?", which one is right? And would you says "Which countries do refugees come from (the) most?" or "Which countries do refugees mostly come from?" or "Which countries do refugees come from mostly"?
Thank you

Sorry, this was my first post and I accidentally commented rather than answering :-)
I would pick "Which countries speak mostly English", though both get the point across.
I would actually phrase your second sentence like this: "Which countries do most refugees come from?" However, we were all taught in school not to end sentences with a preposition, although that rule is prescriptive and not true in spoken English. Thus, an English teacher might say this sentence is most correct: "From which countries do most refugees come?" That sounds very academic and formal, though.

To me this two sentences sound better:
Which countries mostly speak English?
Which countries do refugees mostly come from?"
