Word order depends on the type of sentences:

In general, it has 1 independent clause (subject+predicate) that explains 1 central idea.

In most cases, the role of completer plays a prepositional phrase (but not only it) that can be placed in the beginning, middle, or end of the sentence:

However, simple sentences can also include complex elements (which often make a pair):

You can remember coordinating conjunctions as acronym FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.

This type of sentence includes 2 parts: 1 subordinate clause + 1 independent clause. The first one cannot exist separately, even though it has both subject and verb.

Pay attention to the punctuation: if you start with a dependent clause, you need a comma; if you start with an independent clause, no comma is needed!

To link two parts of the sentence, use subordinate conjunctions such as after, before, because, if, since, (al)though, when, while, unless, etc.

Since this type of sentence combines compound and complex sentences, it should have at least 2 independent clauses and 1 subordinate clause.

The latter can be:

I would have purchased the cheese that you like, but it was too expensive.

I would have purchased the cheese = independent clause

that you like = dependent adjective clause modifying cheese

it was too expensive = independent clause

Rachel Ray explained how cookies are made, and we practiced her techniques at home.

Rachel Ray explained (how cookies are made) = independent clause

how cookies are made = dependent noun clause

we practiced her techniques at home = independent clause

We had a party because we had a lot of cookies, and our guests are the yummy treats.

We had a party = independent clause

because we had a lot of cookies = dependent noun clause

our guests are the yummy treats= independent clause

1. Adjective order;

2. Indirect object position;

3. Adverbs place.

When there are several adjectives before a noun, and they present different categories, we should follow the main order principles.

Therefore, follow the ABC trajectory and you will never be wrong!

In cases when we have both direct and indirect objects, answer two questions: first, "Who?" and then "What?"

However, be attentive in sentences with the preposition "to" since it can make things different.

The second example is better for academic papers.

We use an adverb:

We use articles to modify and identify nouns. In general, we use definite article with different nouns (countable/uncountable (abstract), singular/plural), while indefinite articles can be used with singular countable nouns. However, you should know more details to be sure you will never make a mistake!

A/an are indefinite articles. We use a when the word starts with consonants, sounds Y and W, while we utilize an if the noun begins with vocals or silent H.

Indefinite articles are used with singular countable nouns:

a book, a system, a horse

a user, a one-armor scissor, a euro

an e-book, an oak, an arc

an hour, an honest person, an x-ray technician

We need an indefinite article when talking about non-specific or non-particular nouns.

For this assignment, students should watch a documentary. - any documentary they find or like.

We can change articles a/an to any: any documentary.

The is a definite article which is used with nouns that we know from the context, specific or particular. We understand what or who we are talking about.

This article is used with singular and plural nouns, countable and uncountable nouns.

For this assignment, students should watch the documentary. - not any documentary, or the one that students like but a specific one.

The American musicians gain popularity in Europe rapidly.

The Chinese [people] treat their elders with much respect.

Names of sports, sports games, and activities: basketball, swimming, hiking, tag.

Names of disciplines and fields of activity: computer science, marketing, psychology.

Plural, abstract nouns, and geographic names also do not need articles.

I heard many stories in my childhood.

Today, my friend told me the story of their grandmother.

Countable nouns are used with both definite and indefinite articles.

It refers to all the marks and symbols used to structure your sentences appropriately, such as commas, semicolons and quotation marks. Correct punctuation is crucial in conveying the precise meaning of your words and preventing misinterpretation and confusion.
