Mastering Word Order: A1

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to understand and apply correct word order in A1 level sentences.

What do you already know about word order in sentences?

Slide 1: Subject - Verb - Object

In English sentences, the basic word order is Subject - Verb - Object (SVO). For example: 'She eats an apple.'

Slide 2: Position of Adjectives

Adjectives usually come before the noun they describe. For example: 'He has a big house.'

Slide 3: Adverb Placement

Adverbs can be placed before the main verb, after the main verb, or at the beginning or end of a sentence. For example: 'She always runs quickly.'

Slide 4: Questions

In question sentences, the word order is often inverted, with the verb coming before the subject. For example: 'Do you like ice cream?'

Slide 5: Practice Exercise

Now, let's practice what we've learned! Rearrange the words to form correct sentences. Example: 'house / big / a / He / has'
