Like most languages English needs the words put in a special order to make sense. IF we get the order wrong we can end up sounding poetic, old-fashioned, or just like Yoda out of Star Wars! To help us we have a simple acronym we can use:

SVOMPT!

This strange word can help us build up our sentences in an easy and natural-sounding way.

What do the words stand for? Subject – Verb – Object – Manner – Place – Time. I’ll help you learn each part and show you how to use them.

Tricks of the Trade

There are several of these acronyms and initialisms that we can use to help us remember things in English, and in our lessons we will go through them all and learn how to apply them to our English.
