Study Notes
Natural Order
- A sentence is in natural order when the complete subject precedes the complete predicate.
- For instance, "Two birds were on the branch" exemplifies natural order, with "Two birds" as the subject and "were on the branch" as the predicate.
- Imperative sentences also follow the natural order.
- For example, "(You) Pass the paper" is in natural order, where "(You)" is the implied subject and "Pass the paper" is the predicate.
Transposed Order (Inverted)
- A sentence is in transposed order when the complete predicate, or a portion of it, comes before the complete subject.
- In the sentence, "In the stable live four horses," the predicate "In the stable live" comes before the subject "four horses."
- Similarly, "There are ten horses" is in transposed order, with "There are" as the predicate and "ten horses" as the subject.
