J'ai beaucoup lu hier.
J'ai lu beaucoup hier.
Which sentence is correct? When we have parler instead of lu, it should be placed after beaucoup. But for reading, we can quantify the result -- reading a lot (of text, etc.). So are both sentences correct, with the first one putting the emphasis on the action of reading and the second one on the quantity being read?
"J'ai beaucoup lu" est plus correct s'il n'y a pas de complément. Mais on dira "J'ai lu beaucoup de livres".
Both sentences are correct
"with the first one putting the emphasis on the action of reading and the second one on the quantity being read"
That's exactly that ;)
