Basic Sentence Structure:
* Subject + Verb + Direct Object
Example:
* She (subject) ate (verb) the apple (direct object).
Exceptions:
While it's uncommon, there are some exceptions where the direct object might appear before the verb, but it's usually in specific grammatical constructions or for stylistic reasons:
* Emphasis:
* "The apple, she ate." (Emphasis on the apple)
* Inversion:
* "Never have I seen such a beautiful sunset." (Inversion for emphasis)
* Poetry or Literature:
* Poets and writers sometimes play with word order for artistic effect.
Remember:
In general, the standard word order in English is subject-verb-object. While exceptions exist, they are less common than the standard structure.
