Agar kalimat yang kita gunakan punya arti dan dapat dimengerti dengan baik oleh pendengar atau pembaca, maka kita perlu menyusunnya dengan susunan yang baik dan benar. Susunannya adalah sebagai berikut:
Subject
Subject selalu berada di depan Kata Kerja dan berada di awal Kalimat.
- She Is My Friend.
- It Is My Bag.
- The Dog Barked.
- Is She Your Friend?
- Is It Your Bag?
- Did The Dog Bark?
Object normalnya berada setelah Kata Kerja.
- He Killed The Snake.
- I Love My Mother.
- She Brought Me A Cup Of Coffee. (Indirect Object - Me, Direct Object - Cup Of Coffee)
- I Told Them A Story. (Indirect - Them, Direct - Story)
Jika berfungsi sebagai Attributive, letakkan di depan Kata Benda yang dijelaskannya.
- Few Children Came.
- She Is A Beautiful Girl.
- He Is A Lazy Boy.
- She Is Beautiful.
- He Is Lazy.
Adverb biasanya diletakkan berdekatan dengan kata yang diterangkannya.
- He Is A Rather Lazy Boy.
- I Was Pleasantly Surprised.
Frase dan Klausa seharusnya diletakkan berdekatan dengan kata-kata yang dijelaskannya.
- She Left The Bread That Was Too Hard To Eat On The Counter.
- I Bought A Clock With Crooked Hands From The Shop.
Untuk penekanan, kita kadang-kadang perlu merubah susunan kalimat yang normal, misalnya Kata yang ingin kita tekankan, kita letakkan di awal kalimat.
Bandingkan:
- Though He Was Intelligent, He Couldn't Solve The Problem.
- Intelligent Though He Was, He Couldn't Solve The Problem. (Kita Ingin Menekankan Kata Intelligent.)
- The Annual Examination Will Start Tomorrow.
- Tomorrow The Annual Examination Will Start.
- The Strong Wind Howled Outside.
- Outside, The Strong Wind Howled.
- I Visited Paris During The Summer.
- During The Summer, I Visited Paris.
