in fact
Hello,everybody !!!
The following sentence with "in fact" that confusing me is:
Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do , if
They are given the chance to live long enough.
My question is why "in fact" inserted into between do and age,but not picked behind age, something different ??
Thanks in advance : D

In this situation, the use of 'in fact' is emphasising the word 'do'. This is why it follows 'do' rather than 'age'.
