Depends on what you are trying to emphasize.
The fact that it was Jim you spoke to or the fact that you spoke to him earlier today. Both are ok.

They’re both grammatically correct. But go with the first one as it’s more in line with how someone would say it out loud

First one. Generally aim to have the subject snd verb together.

Imo depends on what was asked too. But the former sounds more correcter :p

Colloquial english is weird bc we tend to throw the time something happened anywhere in a sentence. Generally those words are adjectives to the subject of the sentence so placing them at the end is grammatically correct, as your intuition tells you
