Basic word order

Regeln

Once a sentence carries more than a subject, a verb and an object, English has a settled order for the extra parts.

Kom ihåg

  • 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.

Vanlig fälla att undvika

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.
