what differenced could (only) makes when it comes at the beginning- middle -end of a sentence

Question

Answer

Well, yes sometimes it does change the meaning of sentences depending on where you put it.

For example: 
Only I am working on my homework for an hour. 
(No one else is doing homework for an hour)
                
I am working on my homework for only an hour. 
(I will stop doing homework at the end of that hour no matter what)

I am working on my only homework for an hour. 
(I just have one assignment)

Answer

I agree with FroFluff - it's not so much a case of where "only" is overall, but which word (or words) follows it. That's what "only" modifies.

Answer

A lot of difference.
