Hello again, hello everybody, and welcome to the second term.
00:00:00
We are going to begin this second term by reminding, or maybe in some cases explaining, the word order in sentences.
00:00:06
Okay, first of all we are going to look at some important concepts that are the subject, the verb, and object.
00:00:17
We have to remember these concepts to be able to go and see the order in which words are placed in a sentence.
00:00:24
So, the subject.
00:00:35
The subject is the person, place or thing that the sentence is about or that performs the action.
00:00:38
And this can be done by a noun or a pronoun.
00:00:47
The verb is the action or state and this part of the sentence is performed by the verb or a verb phrase.
00:00:51
And finally we've got the object. We have different objects but we are going to call it only object.
00:01:04
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.
00:01:11
yes and the object can be performed by a noun several nouns or noun phrases okay
00:01:19
first of all let's look at affirmative sentences affirmative sentences a are a
00:01:30
well and have to have a subject and a verb always they've always have a
00:01:38
subject and a verb to make a sentence example Mary cries Mary that we have it
00:01:43
in red is the subject and cries, that we can see it in blue, is the verb, the action. And
00:01:48
then the bell in the second sentence will be the subject and the action that it performs
00:01:55
is rings. Other elements in a sentence are optional, okay? Because as long as we have
00:02:00
a subject and a verb, we will be having a sentence. But sometimes we need to make the
00:02:09
sentence complete, we need objects. Okay, so for example, we have they wrote a letter. They
00:02:17
will be the subject of our sentence, in this case a pronoun. Wrote, okay, that is the verb,
00:02:27
the action. And what did they write? A letter. Okay, that will be the object.
00:02:35
Jim build a sandcastle. The same. Jim will be the subject, build will be the verb and a sandcastle will be the object.
00:02:45
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.
00:02:59
the timetable, and to you, Lee.
00:03:11
Okay?
00:03:16
Other complements.
00:03:19
We can use adverbs or adverbial phrases
00:03:21
to talk about manner, time, place, etc.
00:03:24
The usual order of these complements in English is
00:03:29
manner, that will talk about how the action is,
00:03:32
the place, where the action takes place,
00:03:37
frequency, time that we'll be talking about when this takes place and reason
00:03:40
the why of this action taking place. So we have the children were playing
00:03:50
happily with their toys. So we have the children will be our subject, we're
00:03:58
playing will be our verb happily will be a compliment okay in this case manner
00:04:05
compliment so how is he playing he's playing happily with their toys that
00:04:17
will be the compliment I mean the the object okay in this case you could you
00:04:24
could also make a sentence will be the children were playing it will be
00:04:30
enough, but we want to add more information. The children were playing
00:04:35
happily. We could also stop there the sentence. Or the children were playing
00:04:38
with their toys without speaking about the manner. Okay? All of them will be
00:04:43
correct sentences. What happens with negative sentences? The word order in
00:04:50
negative sentences is the same as in affirmative sentences. Note, however, that
00:04:57
in negative sentences we usually need an auxiliary verb we have seen these things
00:05:03
okay the only verb that is not going to need an auxiliary verb is the verb to be
00:05:11
to make the negative so example she does not speak English fluently she
00:05:18
doesn't because you remember that is this this is the short form of does not
00:05:29
okay a speak English fluently again we have the subject or verb with the not
00:05:35
doesn't our verb English object and fluently how how does he speak English
00:05:48
fluently, okay? Well, in this case he doesn't, or she doesn't. Interrogative
00:05:57
sentences. In interrogative sentences we just switch off the order, no?
00:06:05
We begin with the auxiliary verb, unless we are with the verb to be, then the
00:06:14
subject, the main verb, the object, and the sentence can go on and on, no? So do
00:06:19
auxiliary verb you subject speak the main verb English object now we go to
00:06:27
the verb to be so we begin the sentence the question with the verb to be subject
00:06:38
and then a object if we use a wh word it goes first we have also and we have also
00:06:45
seen questions beginning with WH words such as when, why, where and so on.
00:06:56
So we will begin with the WH word, when, does, we go to the auxiliary, the
00:07:05
movie subject and start okay very good so that is all for this part of the unit
00:07:17
thank you very much for your attention and see you soon bye bye
