any explanation of english word order?

Answer 1

English word order is S-V-O. That is Subject precedes verb and verb precedes object.

Moreover, English is a non-pro drop language which means you can never drop the subject in a sentence. English word order unlike some other languages is highly strict and doesn't allow changes.

Answer 2

Usually it is subject, verb and object.

The elephant ate his dinner.

However, there are many other factors - prepositional phrases, clauses and a host of other matters.

Living in an English speaking country will be of great assistance in learning phrases and language usage.

Answer 3

Usually SUBJECT, then VERB, OBJECT, and ATTRIBUTES (place before time)

My boyfriend (SUBJECT) should have given (VERB) an expensive present (direct OBJECT) to his future mother-in-law (indirect OBJECT) at my parents’ home (place) the other night (time)
That’s the general rule!

Recently I saw an idiot. Here the adverbial ‘Recently’ is before the actual sentence. Also very common.

Answer 4

ive not fully understood the english language structure yet because im used to subject then object then verb

ive heard it interchanged a lot... i think you can do that with most languages in certain context... but ive heard it used mainly as subject then verb then object.
