How to simplify learning English
A good friend of mine studied English for a long time. I went to courses, studied independently, watched films in the original. What can I say, I did my best. But she still had one problem. word-order.
At one time, she was helped by one simple scheme that clearly defines the structure of the proposal and helps. spell out. Editorial "Site" He's sharing this pattern with you. We hope it will make your life easier and help you learn English.
Word order is a challenging topic for anyone learning English, especially for beginners. We're all used to language abuse. Just think about how many different ways there are to make the same sentence in Russian. Put aside words without remorse, and everyone will understand you anyway.
For example, rabbits chased me in my dreams. Now let’s do a little bit: in my dream, rabbits ran after me. Sounds good anyway. Let’s try a little more spin: rabbits ran after me in my dream. It's a little more ornate, but still not considered a mistake. And you can go on and change any words.
In English, the relationship between words is not so obvious. It is determined by the order of words. So it's strict, fixed. Step to the right, step to the left, and it is no longer clear who was running after whom or in what dream.
To make everything simple and understandable with rabbits, a simple SVOMPT scheme will help. Let's decipher each letter to make it clear the rabbits will help.
Now a few words about exceptions. Sometimes you need to emphasize the place or time, then this information can be brought to the beginning of the sentence. And adverbs can sometimes stand before the verb, but this is already in some cases. While you do not need to fill your head with this, such nuances will come to you over time.
Write down this short transcript. A couple of dozen sentences you build, still peeking, and then they will begin to fold themselves. The main thing is to catch the essence, and then it will go by itself. It is important to practice every day and speak more English.

- S - subject (subject)
In the first place is always the subject (who? what?). The main character is a rabbit (rabbit). This is where we begin the sentence.
- V - verb (verb)
As a rule, English sentences do not exist without a verb (what to do?). And it is in second place in the proposal. After we have determined who we are talking about, we tell him what he is doing. The rabbit, for example, was moving.
- O - object (addition)
Supplement (who?) is not always in a sentence. But if there is, it is necessarily associated with the verb. There may be several of them, but they will all be in the sentence after the verb. Let us take another sentence as an example: I had a funny dream about rabbits. I had a funny dream about rabbits..
- M - manner (mode of action)
Let’s talk about how our rabbits ran. Here we have an adverb (how?). A rabbit was moving slowly and quiet.
- P - place (place)
We've figured out how the rabbit moved, now we'll tell you where it did it. The rabbit moved slowly and quietly in my dream. A rabbit was moving slowly and quiet in my dream.
- T - time (time)
At the very end of the sentence, you can tell when exactly the events occurred. As a rule, we talk about the time at the end of the sentence, although there are slight exceptions, but about this later. So the rabbit moved slowly and quietly in my sleep last night. A rabbit was moving slowly and quiet in my dream last night. So we clarified all the details of the story.
Now a few words about exceptions. Sometimes you need to emphasize the place or time, then this information can be brought to the beginning of the sentence. And adverbs can sometimes stand before the verb, but this is already in some cases. While you do not need to fill your head with this, such nuances will come to you over time.
