English can be SOV (but only rarely)

Post by trackerwannabe »

English sentence structure is generally SVO (Subject-Verb-Object). "I drive the car." "You throw the ball."

But on rare occasion (see here and here), an English sentence can be SOV (Subject-Object-Verb). "(With this ring), I thee wed."

It was the If Yoda had Duolingo post (archived here) that got me thinking about that.

Anglo-American (English): Native // Français (French): Intermediate // Deutsch (German): Beginner
