00:00:00,820 --> 00:00:05,759
Hello again, hello everybody, and welcome to the second term.

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:15,539
We are going to begin this second term by reminding, or maybe in some cases explaining, the word order in sentences.

3
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:23,920
Okay, first of all we are going to look at some important concepts that are the subject, the verb, and object.

4
00:00:24,879 --> 00:00:34,380
We have to remember these concepts to be able to go and see the order in which words are placed in a sentence.

5
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,560
So, the subject.

6
00:00:38,259 --> 00:00:46,479
The subject is the person, place or thing that the sentence is about or that performs the action.

7
00:00:47,140 --> 00:00:51,539
And this can be done by a noun or a pronoun.

8
00:00:51,539 --> 00:01:04,540
The verb is the action or state and this part of the sentence is performed by the verb or a verb phrase.

9
00:01:04,540 --> 00:01:11,540
And finally we've got the object. We have different objects but we are going to call it only object.

10
00:01:11,540 --> 00:01:19,540
The object is the noun or noun phrase that receives the action or is affected by the action, that is to say by the verb.

11
00:01:19,540 --> 00:01:30,799
yes and the object can be performed by a noun several nouns or noun phrases okay

12
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:38,239
first of all let's look at affirmative sentences affirmative sentences a are a

13
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:43,420
well and have to have a subject and a verb always they've always have a

14
00:01:43,420 --> 00:01:48,420
subject and a verb to make a sentence example Mary cries Mary that we have it

15
00:01:48,420 --> 00:01:55,900
in red is the subject and cries, that we can see it in blue, is the verb, the action. And

16
00:01:55,900 --> 00:02:00,659
then the bell in the second sentence will be the subject and the action that it performs

17
00:02:00,659 --> 00:02:09,550
is rings. Other elements in a sentence are optional, okay? Because as long as we have

18
00:02:09,550 --> 00:02:17,949
a subject and a verb, we will be having a sentence. But sometimes we need to make the

19
00:02:17,949 --> 00:02:27,569
sentence complete, we need objects. Okay, so for example, we have they wrote a letter. They

20
00:02:27,569 --> 00:02:35,810
will be the subject of our sentence, in this case a pronoun. Wrote, okay, that is the verb,

21
00:02:35,810 --> 00:02:45,710
the action. And what did they write? A letter. Okay, that will be the object.

22
00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:57,889
Jim build a sandcastle. The same. Jim will be the subject, build will be the verb and a sandcastle will be the object.

23
00:02:59,030 --> 00:03:11,550
The last sentence that we have here. Carol gave the timetable to Julie. In this case subject, the verb and we have two different objects.

24
00:03:11,550 --> 00:03:15,069
the timetable, and to you, Lee.

25
00:03:16,069 --> 00:03:16,330
Okay?

26
00:03:19,419 --> 00:03:20,240
Other complements.

27
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,460
We can use adverbs or adverbial phrases

28
00:03:24,460 --> 00:03:28,740
to talk about manner, time, place, etc.

29
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:32,360
The usual order of these complements in English is

30
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,539
manner, that will talk about how the action is,

31
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,919
the place, where the action takes place,

32
00:03:40,919 --> 00:03:50,240
frequency, time that we'll be talking about when this takes place and reason

33
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:58,439
the why of this action taking place. So we have the children were playing

34
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:05,460
happily with their toys. So we have the children will be our subject, we're

35
00:04:05,460 --> 00:04:17,959
playing will be our verb happily will be a compliment okay in this case manner

36
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:24,420
compliment so how is he playing he's playing happily with their toys that

37
00:04:24,420 --> 00:04:30,899
will be the compliment I mean the the object okay in this case you could you

38
00:04:30,899 --> 00:04:35,259
could also make a sentence will be the children were playing it will be

39
00:04:35,259 --> 00:04:38,500
enough, but we want to add more information. The children were playing

40
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:43,699
happily. We could also stop there the sentence. Or the children were playing

41
00:04:43,699 --> 00:04:50,879
with their toys without speaking about the manner. Okay? All of them will be

42
00:04:50,879 --> 00:04:57,759
correct sentences. What happens with negative sentences? The word order in

43
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:03,939
negative sentences is the same as in affirmative sentences. Note, however, that

44
00:05:03,939 --> 00:05:11,860
in negative sentences we usually need an auxiliary verb we have seen these things

45
00:05:11,860 --> 00:05:18,420
okay the only verb that is not going to need an auxiliary verb is the verb to be

46
00:05:18,420 --> 00:05:29,899
to make the negative so example she does not speak English fluently she

47
00:05:29,899 --> 00:05:35,620
doesn't because you remember that is this this is the short form of does not

48
00:05:35,620 --> 00:05:48,759
okay a speak English fluently again we have the subject or verb with the not

49
00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:57,720
doesn't our verb English object and fluently how how does he speak English

50
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:05,600
fluently, okay? Well, in this case he doesn't, or she doesn't. Interrogative

51
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:14,220
sentences. In interrogative sentences we just switch off the order, no?

52
00:06:14,220 --> 00:06:19,500
We begin with the auxiliary verb, unless we are with the verb to be, then the

53
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:27,560
subject, the main verb, the object, and the sentence can go on and on, no? So do

54
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:38,720
auxiliary verb you subject speak the main verb English object now we go to

55
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:45,259
the verb to be so we begin the sentence the question with the verb to be subject

56
00:06:45,259 --> 00:06:56,269
and then a object if we use a wh word it goes first we have also and we have also

57
00:06:56,269 --> 00:07:05,769
seen questions beginning with WH words such as when, why, where and so on.

58
00:07:05,769 --> 00:07:17,089
So we will begin with the WH word, when, does, we go to the auxiliary, the

59
00:07:17,089 --> 00:07:28,750
movie subject and start okay very good so that is all for this part of the unit

60
00:07:28,750 --> 00:07:36,670
thank you very much for your attention and see you soon bye bye
