It may go in either position in most situations, I think, but the normal position is after the auxiliary:  may also, can also, should also, etc. .

	Hongkie  +  683568 Fri, 06 Mar 09 02:33 AM Do they mean slightly different things? For example, "I can also give you ten dollars." means "Besides giving you ***, I can also give you ten dollars." "I also can give you ten dollars." means "I know he/she can give you ten dollars. I can give you ten dollars too." I am confused. Please help!     Hongkie Joined on Mon, Jan 21 2008 Junior Member 97

	Yankee  +  829368 Wed, 22 Jul 09 04:11 AM If I understand your post correctly, Anon, you think there is a difference in the level of formality. However, I don't think formal vs informal is really a factor here. I'd say it's primarily just a question of which word order is more commonly used. There was another thread about this earlier today here.
