Learn English – In the given graph VS In the graph given

inversionsentence-construction

Is there grammatical and sense difference between these two variations:

"The two given graphs reflect the percentage relationship among UK migrants in the year 2007". reflect the percentage relationships between UK migrants in the year 2007".

"The two graphs given reflect the percentage relationship among UK migrants in the year 2007". reflect the percentage relationships between UK migrants in the year 2007".

Is it normal English to say "graph given" – I mean how the native speaker was talking about the graph he has got for analysis.

Best Answer

"...given graphs..." means that the graphs are being shown, displayed or presented.

But "...graphs given..." means that the graphs have been handed over to someone.

Consider :

  1. The given graph shows the increase in the price of petrol in the current year.

  2. The graph given to you shows the increase in the price of petrol in the current year.
