WORD ORDER

STRUCTURE

SUBJET

In a normal (declarative) sentence, the subject of a sentence comes directly in front of the verb. The direct object (when there is one) comes directly after it:

EXAMPLES:

BASOC WORD ORDER IN ENGLISH

EXAMPLE:

The man

wrote a letter

gave her a thankful hug

Bob

The researcher

sent their manuscript to the journal

The girl

wrote an essay on her laptop on the plane

VERB

But the subject noun or pronoun plus adjectives or descriptive phrases that go with the sentence. The rest of the sentence - i.e. the part that is not the subject - is called the predicate.

EXAMPLES

A verb,

from the Latin verbum meaning word, is a word (part of speech) that in syntax conveys an action (bring, read, walk, run, learn), an occurrence (happen, become), or a state of being (be, exist, stand).
