Word order in a sentence (S + V + O)

A normal affirmative sentence has a fixed order: Subject + Verb + Object.

• Anna reads books.
• I like coffee.
• Not: Reads Anna books.

Place and time usually come at the end: I play football in the park on Sunday.

Adverbs of frequency (always, usually, often, sometimes, never) go before the main verb, but after am/is/are:

• She often visits us.
• He is always late.
