The standard word order in affirmative sentences is as follows: SUBJECT + PREDICATE + object + adverbial modifier. Thus, 'Scott' is the subject, 'drives' - the predicate, 'to work' - the object, 'every day' - the adverbial modifier of time (how often). We often use a noun phrase as a time adverbial. Adverbial modifiers are normally placed at the end of the sentence after the object, although they can be placed at the beginning of the sentence before the subject. Therefore, two formulas are possible: 1) Subject + Predicate + Object + Adverbial modifier of time OR 2) Adverbial modifier of time + Subject + Predicate + Object.
L'ordre estàndard de les paraules en frases afirmatives és el següent: SUBJECTE + PREDICAT + objecte + modificador adverbial. Per tant, 'Scott' és el subjecte, 'drives' - el predicat, 'to work' - l'objecte, 'every day' - el modificador adverbial de temps (amb quina freqüència). Sovint utilitzem una frase nominal com a modificador temporal. Els modificadors adverbials normalment es col·loquen al final de la frase després de l'objecte, encara que els modificadors adverbials es poden col·locar a l'inici de la frase abans del subjecte. Per tant, són possibles dues fórmules: 1) Subjecte + Predicat + Objecte + Modificador adverbial de temps O 2) Modificador adverbial de temps + Subjecte + Predicat + Objecte.
