Subject
Subject selalu berada di depan Kata Kerja dan berada di awal Kalimat.
- She is my friend.
- It is my bag.
- The dog barked.
- Is she your friend?
- Is it your bag?
- Did the dog bark?
Object normalnya berada setelah Kata Kerja.
- He killed the snake.
- I love my mother.
- She brought me a cup of coffee. (Indirect object - me, direct object - cup of coffee)
- I told them a story. (Indirect - them, direct - story)
Jika berfungsi sebagai Attributive, letakkan di depan Kata Benda yang dijelaskannya.
- Few children came.
- She is a beautiful girl.
- He is a lazy boy.
- She is beautiful.
- He is lazy.
Adverb biasanya diletakkan berdekatan dengan kata yang diterangkannya.
- He is a rather lazy boy.
- I was pleasantly surprised.
Frase dan Klausa seharusnya diletakkan berdekatan dengan kata-kata yang dijelaskannya.
- She left the bread that was too hard to eat on the counter.
- I bought a clock with crooked hands from the shop.
Untuk penekanan, kita kadang-kadang perlu merubah susunan kalimat yang normal, misalnya Kata yang ingin kita tekankan, kita letakkan di awal kalimat.
Bandingkan:
- Though he was intelligent, he couldn't solve the problem.
- Intelligent though he was, he couldn't solve the problem. (Kita ingin menekankan kata intelligent.)
- The annual examination will start tomorrow.
- Tomorrow the annual examination will start.
- The strong wind howled outside.
- Outside, the strong wind howled.
- I visited Paris during the summer.
- During the summer, I visited Paris.
