Word order

Word order refers to the way words are arranged in a sentence. The standard word order in English is: Subject + Verb + Object. To determine the proper sequence of words, you need to understand what the subject, verb and object(s) are.

Subject: typically a noun or pronoun—the person, place or thing

Verb: the action or state of being

Object: the word or group of words influenced by the verb
