Adverb of phrase- time and place are also used after the verb or its object like

In use of ?have to? or ?used to? adverb is used before these adverbs

?Not? is always used in the mid of the auxiliary verb or principal verb like

    Double negative
    never use double negative it makes no sense to your sentence
