grammar - Are there any rules on the positioning adverbs should take in a sentence?

When an adverb modifies a verb, you can usually put it either before, between, or after:



Adverb = 'often', verb = 'go'



Before:




Often, I go for long walks.




Between:




I often go for long walks.




End:




I go for long walks often.




These aren't all equally common; you would probably find the between position used the most.



In your example, you are asking a question, so the 'before' position can't really be used.




Broadly, ever wish you could share information?




Just doesn't work.



But the between and end position are equally valid. I would say that, again, the between position sounds best.




Ever wish you could broadly share information?
