In English grammar, Word Order is one of the primary determinants of sentence meaning. English observes the pattern of Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) in the sentence structure. Alterations in this conventional order may lead to different expression of ideas or ambiguities. Therefore, learning the correct Word Order is crucial for mastering the English language. Below are some exercises designed to test your understanding of Word Order in English grammar.
