Word order

What is it about?

Why is it important?

Word order 

subject (onderwerp) - predicate (gezegde) - object ((lijdend) voorwerp)

subject: who does it

Predicate: verbs

Object: who/what + subject + predicate

Olivia is walking her dog

Adverbs of frequency

• Usually in between the subject and the predicate (sometimes they go in front of or behind the sentence)
• Unless the predicate has multiple words, then you put the adverb after the first word of the predicate (except 'have to')
• They go after am, is, are, was or were except in question sentencesk

Adverb of frequency = something that says how often something happens (always, usually, sometimes, etc.)

Adverbs of frequency

I always forget my homework

he can never remember where he left his wallet

I usually have to wait a long time for the bus

I am usually picking up my brother around that time

My mom will bake cookies for me sometimes

I never want to see him again!

Put 'usually' in the sentence
"I like my mom's cooking"

Put 'never' in the sentence
"I can understand her very well"

Put 'every weekend' in the sentence.
"I have to visit my grandma"

adverbs of manner, place and time

• Manner (how you do it), then place, then time
• When the information is really important, you can put it in front of the sentence
• If there are two adverbs of time, the more precise one comes first
