It's in its normally expected position post-verb, isn't it. It's activated/known so it isn't focal (and in questions the question word is always the focus anyway) and it's non-contrastive. It would be more difficult to explain its position if it were moved forward. Statistics: Posted by MAubrey — September 22nd, 2017, 12:52 pm
