  1. Choose the sentence with the right word order

    • Kyle will tell you this story in the park tomorrow.
    • Kyle will tell you tomorrow this story in the park.
    • Kyle tomorrow will tell you this story in the park.
    • Kyle will tell you this story tomorrow in the park.

    There is a certain word order in statements: Subject - Verb - Object. In standard English we normally use the object of place before the object of time: in the park tomorrow.

    • My grandfather a passionate numismatist was.
    • Was my grandfather passionate numismatist.
    • A passionate numismatist my grandfather was.
    • My grandfather was a passionate numismatist.

    There is a certain word order in statements: Subject - Verb - Object. 'My grandfather' is a subject, 'was' - an auxiliary verb, 'a passionate numismatist' - an object

  3. Choose the sentence with the right word order

    • Robert gave to the child a cookie.
    • Robert gave a cookie to the child.
    • A cookie Robert gave to the child.
    • A cookie gave Robert the child.

    When we say 'give Something to somebody' we place the indirect object after the direct object: Robert gave a cookie to the child. But when we omit 'to' the indirect object should be placed in front of the direct object. Answers 3 and 4 do not follow the word order: Subject - Verb - Object

    • Why can't we have a cup of coffee at first?
    • Why we can't have a cup of coffee at first?
    • Can't why we have a cup of coffee at first?
    • Why have we can't a cup of coffee at first?

    The right word order in the wh-question is: Question Word - Auxiliary or Modal - Subject - Main Verb - Object. 'Why' is a question word, 'can' - a modal verb, 'we' - a subject, 'have' - main verb, 'a cup of coffee at first' - an object.

    • Always my brother finds a way out of any situation.
    • My brother finds a way out of any situation always.
    • My brother always finds a way out of any situation.

    The adverb goes after the auxiliary verb. But if there is no auxiliary verb in the sentence, the adverb should be placed before the main verb.

    • You easily can lose your friend's trust.
    • You can lose easily your friend's trust.
    • You can easily lose your friend's trust.
    • Easily you can lose your friend's trust.

    The adverb 'easily' must be placed after the auxiliary verb 'can'.

  8. Choose the sentence with the right word order

    • Yesterday it was his car that stolen.
    • That stolen car was his yesterday.
    • It was his car that was stolen yesterday.
    • It was that his car stolen yesterday.

    left sentences with 'it' are formed in this way: it + to be + object + that. We use this structure to focus on the information that we put in the first place. Here: it's important to say 'it was his car' - not someone else's one.

  9. Choose the sentence with the right word order

    • Ashley bought a new white mink fur coat a week ago.
    • Ashley bought a white new mink fur coat a week ago.
    • Ashley bought a new mink white fur coat a week ago.
    • Ashley bought a white mink new fur coat a week ago.

    There is a certain word order in statements with the Present Simple Tense: Subject - Auxiliary - Object. When we need to use many adjectives in one sentence, they should be placed in the following order: Opinion - Size - Age - Shape - Colour - Origin - Material - Purpose. 'New' defines age, 'white' refers to colour and 'mink' - to material.

  10. Choose the sentence with the right word order

    • Who had been sleeping during the flight the man woke up.
    • The man during the flight who had been sleeping woke up.
    • The man woke up who had been sleeping during the flight.
    • The man who had been sleeping during the flight woke up.

    The subject is normally placed before the predicate. Note, that very often the subject is not a single word. Here: 'The man who had been sleeping during the flight' - is the subject. Then, you should pay attention to the word order inside this phrase: the man - is on the first place and relative clause with 'who' follows it.
