Where does はず go in a phrase ? Is there a rule ?
if you look at the grammar page for はず you can see it, but the construction goes like this;
Verb (casual) + はず
い adjective + はず
な adjective (leaving in the な) + はず
Noun (adding in a の) + はず
Verb (casual) + はず
い adjective + はず
な adjective (leaving in the な) + はず
Noun (adding in a の) + はず
It looks like it's supposed to go right after the verb that "should" have happened. "Should have been done" = 「やったはず(の物…」
As per the construction rules in はず. But typically, it comes at the end of the sentence followed by だ or です
