Is it correct to say : I am glad to be part of this family NOW?

Solution 1:

The problem with now on the end is that it's slightly ambiguous:

  • Now I'm glad to be part of this family
  • I'm now glad to be part of this family
  • I'm glad to now be part of this family
  • I'm glad to be part of this family now

The second one clearly indicates that it's your gladness that is new and current. Perhaps something about the family changed. The third one indicates that it's being part of the family that is new and current. The first and last are possibly ambiguous, but people are more likely to give them the same meaning as the ones they are next to in the list. When you say this out loud, the more emphatically you say now, the more you move the meaning to the second one - that something about being part of this family has changed so that now you like it when before you didn't.

If you are worried that people will misunderstand you, just say

  • I am glad to have joined this family

and all the ambiguity falls away.
