Connector: two-part pairs
Word order and sentence structure tell the reader which ideas belong together and which information is new, emphasized or dependent.
- Core order
- Keep the clause skeleton visible Place the subject, verb and objects where the language expects them.
- Dependencies
- Keep related words together Modifiers, pronouns and particles should sit close to the words they describe.
- Information flow
- Order details deliberately Place, time and emphasis follow patterns that help the sentence read naturally.
