"to be" and modals before adverb? #1 (permalink) Tue Jun 16, 2009 20:59 pm   "to be" and modals before adverb?		  
Someone just told me that the sentence - " It simply is the best computer we have", is wrong and that it should be like this: "It is simply the best computer we have". I'm totally confused because I've never heard of any rule saying that the verb "to be" and modals have to be before the adverb. Is there really susch a rule or is it just a matter of emphasis?
