Verb Placement

Verb placement refers to where the action word (verb) appears in a sentence. In English, the typical order is subject + verb + object, meaning the subject comes first, then the action, followed by what the action affects. For example, "She (subject) runs (verb) every morning." In questions, the verb often moves before the subject, as in "Are you coming?" In other languages, verb placement rules can differ, sometimes leading to variations like verb-final or verb-second positions. Understanding verb placement helps ensure sentences are clear and grammatically correct.
