WORD ORDER

Word order merupakan aturan dalam menyusun kata-kata menjadi kalimat yang sempurna (bermakna utuh).
Pola susunan: S + Verb + Object + Adv of Manner + Adv of Place + Adv of Time
Contoh: Our teacher spoke to us very rudely in the class yesterday
Keterangan:
our teacher = Subject
spoke = Verb
to us = Object
very rudely = Manner
in the class = Place
yesterday = Time

Catatan:

• • Adverb of manner pada kata kerja yang tidak menghendaki objek (intransitive verb). Contoh: I slept soundly.
  • Adverb of manner pada kata kerja yang menghendaki objek (transitive verb). Contoh: He speaks English well.
  • Adverb of place selalu disimpan di akhir kalimat. Contoh: I read a book in the garden.
  • Adverb of time bisa disimpan di awal kalimat atau bisa di akhir kalimat. Contoh: Yesterday I visited him atau I visited him yesterday.
  • Adverb of frequency ditempatkan sebelum kata kerja atau sesudah auxiliary verb. Contoh: I always come late.

Adverb of manner yang berakhiran -ly digunakan dengan transitive verb, boleh ditempatkan setelah subjek atau boleh ditempatkan di akhir. Contoh: I had completely forgotten it atau I had forgotten it completely.
