Question

What is the most common sentence order in English?

• A. Subject-Object-Verb (SOV)
• B. Verb-Subject-Object (VSO)
• C. Subject-Verb-Object (SVO)
• D. Object-Verb-Subject (OVS)

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Subject-Verb-Object (SVO)

In English, the most common sentence structure follows the SVO order, where:

• Subject (S) comes first

• Verb (V) follows the subject

• Object (O) comes after the verb

Examples:

• She (S) loves (V) music (O).

• They (S) are watching (V) a movie (O).

This word order is typical in affirmative sentences and is fundamental to English syntax.
