    'Hardly' as an adverb of frequency belongs between the auxiliary or subject and the main verb.

    'Enough' modifying a verb is placed after the verb in English.

    Answer: The concert was absolutely wonderful.

    Intensifiers like 'absolutely' precede the adjective they modify.

    Modal verbs like 'must' precede the base form of the main verb.
