➖Correct order of words➖

1. Subject 2. Verb 3. Object

1. The object is usually placed immediately after the verb.
Example: I speak English very well.

2. The indirect object usually comes before the direct object without a preposition.
Example: I gave him the money.

3. An expression of time comes after an expression of place.
Example: We stayed there all day.

4. Place adverbs of time and degree, such as always, often, never, nearly, hardly, scarcely, before the verb, or between the auxiliary and the verb.
Examples: I never see that man; or I have never seen that man.
Note: With the verb "to be" place the adverb after the verb: He is never late.

5. In indirect questions the subject comes first and then the verb.
Example: I want to know where they went.

6. In compound verbs with two auxiliaries, place "not" after the first one.
Example: She could not have been there.

7. In the negative infinitive, "not" comes before "to".
Example: I told him not to go there.
