2. Word Order Rules
English has a fixed word order. We must put words in the right place to make a correct sentence. Let’s learn the basic word order rules!
A. Subject + Verb + Object (SVO)
English sentences usually follow this order:
Subject + Verb + Object
Examples:
I like pizza.
She plays the piano.
We watch movies.
B. Place and Time
We usually put place before time in a sentence.
Subject + Verb + Object + Place + Time
Examples:
I read books at home in the evening.
She studies in the library on Mondays.
They play football in the park every Saturday.
C. Adverbs of Frequency (Always, Usually, Often, Sometimes, Never)
Adverbs of frequency tell how often something happens. We put them before the main verb but after ‘be’ verbs.
Examples:
I always drink coffee in the morning.
She usually goes to bed early.
They never eat fast food.
He is always late.
We are often tired after work.
3. Practice
A. Correct the mistakes in these sentences:
I go usually to bed late.
She reads always before sleep.
They play in the park on Sundays football.
We eat dinner every day at home.
B. Put the words in the correct order:
(always / I / tea / drink / in the morning)
(plays / the piano / she / every evening / at home)
(go / we / to the beach / on Saturdays / often)
(never / is / late / he)
4. Summary
Subject + Verb + Object is the usual word order.
Place comes before time.
Adverbs like always, usually, often, never go before the main verb but after ‘be’ verbs.
Now, try using these rules in your own sentences! Keep practicing and have fun learning English!
