English ain't my first language, so I'm getting confused on how I should use the word "next" in this sentence.
Which one is correct?
"Should I resign next from the Student Organisation?"
or
"Should I resign from the Student Organisation next?"
Thank you for your answers
I would say to use the second phrase:
"Should I resign from the Student Organization next?"
This phrase gives a more logical impression that you are using a series of steps to achieve something and this is the next step.
The word ain't is no longer in common use by people with basic education. It might be in use regionally, but the people using it know it is not 'proper' English. It's an affect or slang and used with humour or in relaxed circumstances. I might use it in the same company where I would feel comfortable using a swear word. If you were joking, please excuse me. I completely understood what you meant.
"Should I resign from the Student Organisation next?" is fine, but I think I would say, "Next, should I resign from the Student Organisation?" It make the question more clear or concise -- we know exactly what you mean to say.
