might, could, would, can, etc.) & main verb, the
adverb is placed between the auxiliary and the
main verb. This is also true for to be verb.

31. Lesson:2
Why learn English Text
Statistics show that about 350 million people speak English as a first
language and another 300 million use it as a second language. It is
the official or semi-official language in more than 60 countries and of
many international organisations. The International Olympic
Committee, for example, always holds meetings in English. English
helps the international community and the business world to
communicate across national borders. Today, more than 80% of all
the information in the world's computers is in English, so
organisations frequently need employees who speak and write a
standard form of English. In fact some companies provide English
language training for their staff. It is therefore little wonder that job
advertisements nowadays often ask for a 'good working knowledge'
of English. Many believe now that English usually helps them to get
good jobs and better salaries.
