"has already been" vs "has been already"

The more natural-sounding phrase is "has already been."

Last Updated: December 10, 2017

has already been

This is correct

This is the present perfect of the verb "to be" with the addition of the adverb "already."

has been already

This is not correct. Don't use this phrase.

The word order in this phrase is awkward.
