¿Cuál es el orden básico de una frase en inglés?

Sujeto, luego verbo, luego objeto: I play football, no I football play. Añade el lugar antes que el tiempo al final: in the park every day, no every day in the park. Nada puede ir entre el verbo y el objeto, ni siquiera una palabra de tiempo.

¿Por qué no puedo decir I play every day football?

El objeto debe ir siempre justo después del verbo en inglés; nada puede separarlos, ni siquiera una expresión de tiempo. Di en su lugar I play football every day, con la palabra de tiempo movida al final de la frase.

¿Qué va primero, el lugar o el tiempo?

El lugar va antes que el tiempo cuando los dos aparecen al final de una frase: in the park (lugar), luego every day (tiempo). Di I play football in the park every day, no I play football every day in the park.

What order do subject, verb and object go in?

Subject, then verb, then object, always in that order and never separated: I play football, not I football play or I play sometimes football.

Does place or time come first at the end of a sentence?

Place comes first, then time: in the park every day, not every day in the park.
