Hey guys!
I need to say at which position "finally" stands. and I have no idea...
Here the sentence:
Age had finally wearied them.
At the other sentences it was after the subject or before the predicate. something like that.
And here I'm lost...
Can you help me?
Placing "finally" between the helping verb and the main verb is the best choice.

However, you could place it elsewhere if you wanted a different emphasis.
oh no you misunderstood what I need to do.
I will explain it a bit different.
The original sentence is:
Age had finally wearied him.
And I need to describe to position of the adjunct finally.
So in an other sentence it could be:
"A few years later, the French army band began to play in public the Chanson de Craonne."
Here the adjunct is A few years later. and the position is sentence initial.
But it also is possible that it is after the subject in another case.
So in the sentence above finally has a position between main verb and helping verb. Do you think I can wirte it that way down? or is there a better describtion for the position of finally?
Do you understand?
No, that rather defines the position accurately in this sentence. Although I confess I have no idea what a "describtion" is. I can't find that word in the dictionary.
Of course! I'd be happy to help you understand where "finally" stands in the sentence "Age had finally wearied them."
To identify the position of "finally," we first need to understand the structure of the sentence.
In this sentence, "Age had wearied them," is the main clause, and "finally" is an adverb modifying the verb "wearied." Adverbs often provide additional information about verbs, such as when or how an action occurs.
Now, let's take a closer look at the sentence: "Age had finally wearied them."
In this case, "finally" is positioned before the verb "wearied." It is still modifying the verb "wearied" but is placed between the auxiliary verb "had" and the main verb "wearied."
To summarize, the position of "finally" in the sentence is before the main verb "wearied," between the auxiliary verb "had" and the main verb.
I hope this explanation helps you understand and identify the position of "finally" in this sentence!
