Word Order Inter 1
Verb + object
The verb and the object of the verb normally go together. We do not usually put other words between them.
- Note: the object in a sentence: the entity that is acted upon by the subject. In other words, the object is the one that receives the action of the verb.
VERB + OBJECT
I like dogs very much. (not I like very much dogs)
- Did you see Noe yesterday?
- Andrew often plays tennis.
- Do you clean the office every day? (not Do you clean every weekend the office?)
- At the end of the street you'll see a coffee shop on your right.
PLACE AND TIME
The place (where?) usually goes before the time (when? / how often? / how long?)
PLACE TIME
Susan walks to work every morning.
- My brother has been in Germany since April.
- We arrived at the airport early.
- I'm going home on Monday.
- Why weren't you at home last night?
It is often possible to put the time at the beginning of the sentence:
- On Monday I'm going to have an exam.
- Every morning Jenny walks to work.
