I never would be or I'd never be

[Tauro_Boy]

I don't know whether this topic has been posted before or not, but I kinda doubt about it mostly. can somebody explain me about the difference between "I never would be" and "I would never be"?
I have a problem in putting adverbs... thx for helping

[Mordant]

They're both correct and mean exactly the same thing. Also, you don't "doubt about" it. You just doubt it.

[Blue_Snow]

I think I would never be is correct. One more complicated structure is I would never have been.

[Babygorilla]

I never would have thought that I could learn this fast!
I would never be friends with her.

Hi Tauro_Boy,

In your sentences:

"I never would be" and "I would never be"

the more common position for 'never' is between 'would' and 'be'. By putting 'never' before 'would be' you are stressing the importance of the adverb.

I've written some notes on adverbs for the site, which you may find of use:
