The word order of a sentence obviously depends on the type of sentence (affirmative, negative, interrogative)
and on its complexity.
“S V O M P T”, a mnemonic to help you remember the “basic” word order for an
AFFIRMATIVE STATEMENT
.
S
is the
SUBJECT
,
V
is the
VERB
,
O
is the
OBJECT
,
M
is the
MANNER
(
how
something is done),
P
is the
PLACE
(
where
it is done),
T
is the
TIME
(
when
it is done).
She drove the car very well through London yesterday!
When a verb (like
send
and
give
) has got two objects there are two possibilities:
the indirect object precedes the direct
give me the book
give John the book
the direct object precedes the indirect
give the book to me/give it to me
give the book to John/give it to him
If the direct object precedes, the indirect object needs the preposition
to
.
If the objects are both pronouns, the direct object always precedes the indirect object.

The Modern Electronic Manual:
everything you need to get started
and go further in electronics
The revised CD-ROM edition of the Modern Electronics Base
Manual (MEM) contains practical, easy-to-follow information
on the following subjects:
