Hi PW,

In English, the adverb is usually placed nearest (before) the word that it modifies. The most common in this case is after the modal and before the main verb. Most of the time there is latitude in the position of the adverb, but sometimes the meaning of the sentence can be changed as you move it:

I only bought the diamond for her. (I didn't do anything else.)
