In a 2 measure phrase in 4/4 the strongest ending position is beat three of the second measure. In a 4 measure phrase in 4/4 the strongest ending position is beat one of the fourth measure. These are good places to end choruses.
Other strong ending positions in a 2 measure phrase but not as strong as beat three are beat one, two and four. For even weaker ending positions that would be the offbeats, 16th and/or triplet subdivisions. Those are good places to end verses.
You can end the chorus on positions other than beat three of the second measure but its best to make sure that the verse doesn't end stronger than the chorus. Other strong ending positions in a FOUR measure phrase are beats 2,3 and 4 of the fourth measure.
Starting positions have a similar hierarchy. A choruses strongest starting position is the first beat of the first measure of either a 2 or 4 measure phrase. Next in line is beat 3. Weaker still is beat 2 and even more weak is beat 4. Weakest of all would be starting on the off beats, 16th and triplet subdivisions.
Of course it's possible to start a phrase before the first beat of the bar as in pick-up notes/pick-up measure (also known as anacrussis). Normally you'd have to make sure you actually place a note on the first beat of the measure and not skip over it in that case, if it's a chorus we're talking about.
