Placing "finally" between the helping verb and the main verb is the best choice.

However, you could place it elsewhere if you wanted a different emphasis.
Hey guys!
I need to say at which position "finally" stands. and I have no idea...
Here the sentence:
Age had finally wearied them.
At the other sentences it was after the subject or before the predicate. something like that.
And here I'm lost...
Can you help me?

oh no you misunderstood what I need to do.
I will explain it a bit different.
The original sentence is:
Age had finally wearied him.
And I need to describe to position of the adjunct finally.
So in an other sentence it could be:
"A few years later, the French army band began to play in public the Chanson de Craonne."
Here the adjunct is A few years later. and the position is sentence initial.
But it also is possible that it is after the subject in another case.
So in the sentence above finally has a position between main verb and helping verb. Do you think I can wirte it that way down? or is there a better describtion for the position of finally?
Do you understand?

No, that rather defines the position accurately in this sentence. Although I confess I have no idea what a "describtion" is. I can't find that word in the dictionary.
