Should the adverb go before or after the verb?

Answer by  Phil97 (569)

Adverbs in English are like ninjas, that is, they are placed anywhere the writer thinks it sounds natural. Older grammar books will say that a writer should never split an auxiliary verb from its main one; therefore the first example is wrong, but that rule is not followed any more.

Avoid splitting verb. The verb in this case is "will result," so nothing should be jammed in between "will" and "result. " The best way to write it is: Typically, a larger down payment will result in a lower interest rate. "Typically" applies to the entire action.
