Word order in different sentences


English sentences are divided into statements, questions, commands, and exclamatory sentences. Word order in different types of sentences has certain peculiarities.

Statements (Declarative sentences)


Statements (declarative sentences) are the most common type of sentences. A standard statement uses the basic word order pattern, i.e. SUBJECT + PREDICATE (+ object + adverbial modifier). Adverbial modifiers are placed at the end of the sentence after the object (or after the verb if there is no object). Attributes (adjectives, numerals) are placed before their nouns, and attributes in the form of nouns with prepositions are placed after their nouns.
Maria works.

Questions (Interrogative sentences)


General questions
Auxiliary verb + subject + main verb (+ object + adverbial modifier):
Do you smoke?
Special questions
Question word + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb (+ object + adverbial modifier):
Where does he live?
Alternative questions
Alternative questions have the same word order as general questions.
Does he live in Paris or Rome?
Tag questions
Tag questions consist of two parts. The first part has the same word order as statements, and the second part is a short general question (the tag).
He lives here, doesn't he?

Commands (Imperative sentences)


Commands have the same word order as statements, but the subject (you) is usually omitted.
Go to your room.

Exclamatory sentences


Exclamatory sentences have the same word order as statements (i.e., the subject is before the predicate).
She is a great singer!
In some types of exclamatory sentences, the subject (it, this, that) and the linking verb are often omitted.
What a pity!
35. Syndetic compound sentences. Types of relations and their means of expression.

The sentence is the central syntactic construction used as the minimal communicative unit that has its primary predication, actualises a definite structural scheme and possesses definite intonation characteristics.
