Basic word order
La regola
Once a sentence carries more than a subject, a verb and an object, English has a settled order for the extra parts.
Ricorda
- Adverbs of frequency go before the main verb and after be.
- Adjectives go before the noun, in a set order when there are several.
- Place comes before time: she works in Ankara on Mondays.
Trappola comune da evitare
The place-before-time order is not optional. On Mondays she works in Ankara is fine at the front, but not wedged between the verb and the place.
