but before the main verb.

Adverbs of degree (absolutely, completely, just, totally, extremely, quite, seriously, very, etc.) go before the adjective or the adverb they describe.

I've quite finished.

Absolutely, completely and totally can go in the middle or end position. He completely forgot our appointment.

adjectives after linking verbs:

appear, be, become, get, feel, look, seem, smell, stay, taste.
