3. First Sentences
English is a Subject-Verb-Object
(SVO) language - meaning that sentences are
made with the subject first, then the verb,
and finally the object. Using the above grammar
we can now make basic English sentences, for
example:
- I am a teacher
- She is happy
- They are students
Languages like French
and Chinese are also SVO languages, but other
languages are different. For example, Japanese,
Korean and Persian are Subject-Object-Verb languages,
so you wouldn't say "She is happy",
you'd say "She happy is"!
