In the beginning of the text the reader needs to find out WHO is with you, WHERE are you and WHEN is it. For example: Yesterday I saw my little brother walking on the road.

Creative Writing Prompts

SVOMPT - word order in English. SVOMPT rule is one of the most important rules in English.

SVOMPT - word order in English

If students learn to follow this rule, their English will improve dramatically, and they will be understood. Once a student knows some words and follows the SVOMPT rule, we can say that he/she can speak English. I love Darren Crown’s explanation of the origin of the SVOMPT word order. In his humorous book “Angličtina na rovinu” he writes that English was first used by a primitive tribe whose members did not want to use their brain too much and thus they created a word order which is always the same – Subject, Verb, Object, adverbs of Manner, adverbs of Place and adverbs of Time. So let´s stop looking for some complicated explanations and let´s think like the primitive barbarians and stick with the SVOMPT word order. SVOMPT – games and quizzes At the moment you feel you understand the grammar it is time to put your knowledge into practice.
