I was reading [this](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/35739/whats-
the-meaning-of-%E3%81%BE%E3%81%A7%E3%81%A4%E3%81%84%E3%81%A6), and maybe I'm
just missing some common knowledge, but the following part of the sentence in
question surprised me:

> しかも付録までついてこれは買うしかない！！

Specifically, 「付録までついて」. I wonder why it's not 「付録ついてまで」? It seems to me that
まで ("even") refers to 「付録ついて」 ("present included"). So why is it in the middle
of what it is referring to? Or am I parsing it incorrectly perhaps?

If 「付録までついて」 and 「付録ついてまで」 are both correct, what is the difference between
the two?

question
particle-まで
Placement of まで
まで in 付録までついて modifies 付録.

まで in 付録ついてまで modifies 付録ついて but I feel it is unnatural. 付録つけてまで is natural.
For example, この出版社は、付録付けてまでその本を売りたいようだ(This publishing company seems to want
to sell the book even with present.)

付録までついて is only natural in this sentence and I don't come up the example used
付録ついてまで.

I think I perfectly understand your puzzlement. Let's see if I can relieve
some of it.

First we have two specimens to examine:

① 付録までついて  
② 付録がついてまで

(I think in ②, after the "付録", a "が" is required, formally speaking, because
"まで" that 'absorbs' it in ① is dissociated from the subject in ②.)

In ①, the implication is that something other than the "付録" is already
included, since the "まで" attaches only to the "付録".

Whereas in ②, the implication is that some event other than "付録 is included"
is present, since the "まで" modifies the entire "付録がついて".

This is all well and logical, but being logical isn't exactly what we are when
use our language. Despite the difference described above, I'm inclined to say
few people would have second thoughts about speaking like ① when what they
really mean is ②. In fact I believe to talk like ② would be something of a
hypercorrection. (As far as this case is concerned, that is. There are many
occasions where using "まで" after the verb is fine, preferred, or is _the_
right choice.)

(Had I written "the 'まで' **only attaches to** the '付録'", instead of "the 'まで'
**attaches only to** the '付録'" three paragraphs back, would you have
understood any differently?)

So, the bottom line is, "しかも付録までついてこれは買うしかない！！" is just exactly how we usually
talk. (And there's something about this sentence that makes using ②付録がついてまで
exceedingly inapt here. Can't say what, though.)

付録ついてまで買うしかない is wrong because `te-form of a verb + てまで` only works as an
adverbial **sub-clause** which modifies the following verb. It means "～ even
by V-ing", "～ even when V-ing", "～ even if V-ing", etc. 付録ついてまで買うしかない hardly
makes sense, but it would feel more like "I have no choice but to buy it even
when it comes with a gift". (1万円払ってまで買うしかない makes sense: "I have to buy it
even if I have to pay 10,000 yen.")

The original sentence in question:

> 付録までついてこれは買うしかない

is essentially two independent sentences, simply connected using the te-form.
This sentence can be split into two sentences without changing the meaning
(i.e., 「付録がついている。買うしかない。」). Here, this te-form simply functions like English
[coordinating conjunctions](https://www.englishclub.com/grammar/conjunctions-
coordinating.htm) such as "and". In this case, `verb + てまで` doesn't work well.

Examples:

>   1. 映画館に **行ってまで** 見たくはない。
>   2. 映画館に **まで行って** 見たくはない。
>   3. こんな **苦労までして** 勉強しないといけないの？
>   4. こんな **苦労をしてまで** 勉強しないといけないの？
>

In the above examples, `te-form + まで` and `まで + te-form` are interchangeable
because the first clause is a sub-clause which describes the
situation/condition of the main clause (ie, "even when", etc). If we split
these sentences into two (eg, 「こんな苦労をした。勉強しないといけないの？」), the meaning of the
sentence would change greatly.

>   5. 仕事まで失って、家族はなんと言うだろう。
>   6. [*]仕事を **失ってまで** 、家族はなんと言うだろう。
>   7. ミッキーだけでなくミニーにまで会えて、とても楽しかった。
>   8. [*]ミッキーだけでなくミニーに **会えてまで** 、とても楽しかった。
>

Here, 6 and 8 are wrong because the first clause is not a sub-clause but a
[coordinate clause](http://grammar.about.com/od/c/g/Coordinate-Clause.htm).

You can find more examples of てまで here.

Alternatively, you can insert an extra te-form after まで to turn it into a
coordinate clause.

>   * 付録が付くまでしていて、買うしかない。
>   * 付録が付いてまでいて、買うしかない。
>

But these sound redundant and a bit awkward.

It's true that they aren't grammatically parallel, but let's look at it this
way:

> **_even_ bundled with a present** : 付録がつき​まで{LL}する
>
> bundled _even_ with a present : **付録​まで{LL}つく**
>
> bundled with _even_ a present : 付録​まで{LL}がつく

The three English phrases technically have different meanings, but we tend to
choose the first one at all times, since it's far more natural than others,
which I believe is because English _even_ is an adverb. Likewise, we
disproportionately prefer the second one in Japanese, because it sounds
neatest as Japanese まで is a 取り立て助詞 ("focusing particle") that can modify nouns
and other particles.

Meanwhile, 付録ついてまで doesn't even belong to the same structure with the three
above, though itself is grammatical. For example, 付録までついて is 付録までつく + て, so て
is in the most outer layer. Since て makes adverbial clause (or you can say
it's a conjunction), the whole part becomes an independent chunk in sentence.

> 付録までついてこれは買うしかない  
>  _It is even bundled with an extra present, thus, you definitely have no
> choice but to buy it_  
>  or  
>  _As it is even bundled with an extra present, you definitely have no choice
> but to buy it_

But 付録ついてまで is 付録（が）つく + て + まで, so まで is wrapping up everything. Since まで is
a particle a.k.a. postposition (=preposition in English), it becomes like a
prepositional phrase as a whole.

> 付録ついてまでこれは買うしかない  
>  _Until how it is bundled with an extra present, you definitely have no
> choice but to buy it_

As you can see it's a senseless sentence.
