Hi [이름],   You almost nailed it/You almost got it perfect! Congratulations! You probably forgot to do #7 but everything is almost perfect. Wow!   I just want you to review some tips provided below.   WORD ORDER   Most English sentences (clauses) conform to the SVO (Subject-Verb-Direct Object) word order. This means that the Subject comes before the Verb, which comes before the Object. Examples:   Subject - the person or thing that performs the action of a verb, or which is joined to a description by a verb.   Verb -  a word or phrase that describes an action, condition, or experience.   Direct Object - the word or phrase naming who or what receives the action of the verb. I (Subject) bought (Verb) a new computer (Object). She (S) doesn\'t like (V) dogs (O). Why did you (S) do (V) that (O)? It is more complicated when an indirect object (I) is added to the sentence. In this case the word order depends a.) on whether the direct and indirect objects are nouns or pronouns, and b.) on whether the indirect object is preceded by the word to. Here are the basic rules:   Indirect Object - the person or thing that receives the effect of the action of a verb that has two objects. In the sentence \"Give Jason some cake,\" \"Jason\" is the indirect object. Indirect object with to:· Two nouns · Two pronouns · Pronoun object/noun indirect object SVOI I showed the computer to my friends.I showed it to them.I showed it to my friends.She gave the present to her mother.She gave it to her.She gave it to her mother. Indirect object without to:· Two nouns · Two pronouns · Noun object/pronoun indirect object SVI0 I showed my friends the computer.I showed them it.I showed them the computerShe gave her mother the present.She gave her it.She gave her the present. Many English sentences also contain adverbials. The problem for the English learner is that some adverbials can be located in different places within the sentence, while other adverbials must appear in one place only. For example, it is correct to say both: I very quickly did my homework .. and I did my homework very quickly .., but only I did my homework in a hurry .. is possible. I in a hurry did my homework .. is wrong.   * For example, the learner might not know which of the following sentences contains the more normal word order: \"a. I want to get this right ..\" or \"b. I want to get right this ..\".    I\'ll see you in class tomorrow. Bye. ~~T. Jamie^^ 1. Q: Who knows about this? A: (No one really) knows about this. It\'s a secret.>> CORRECT2.
