Learn English – “Most” is used as an adjective and an adverb

I read a sentence " He gave the most money". In this sentence "most" is used as an adjective. If I want to use "most" as an adverb can I say "He gave money the most" Is the latter correct grammar? and if it is does it sound natural?

Thank you 🙂

"He gave the most money" and "He gave money the most" mean two different things. The first is a comparison to others giving money. The second is a comparison to other things he gives.

In sum, it's grammatical. It's natural. But watch for meaning.
