It should always come after the te-form of a verb. It is very similar to “Can I” or “May I” in English. テレビをみてもいいですか Telebi wo mite mo ii desu ka (Can I watch television?) このほんをよんでもいいですか kono hon o yonde mo ii desu ka (Can I read this book?) チョコレートを食べてもいいですか chokoreeto o tabete mo ii desu ka (Can I eat these chocolates?) はい。チョコレートをたべてもいいです。 Hai. chokoreeto o tabete mo iidesu.
