Unit 109. Word order 1: verb + object; place and time




Unit 109; Part A

galka.jpgVerb + object
The verb and the object normally go together. We do not usually put other words between them:
109.1.jpg

Unit 109; Part B

galka.jpgPlace and time
Usually the verb and the place (where?) go together:

       go home    live in a city    walk to work etc.

If the verb has an object, the place comes after the verb + object:

       take somebody home    meet a friend in the street

Time
(when? / how often? / how long?) usually goes after place:
