SENĆOŦEN: A Grammar of the Saanich Language

7 Basic Word Order

When we speak of word order, we are referring to the order of verbs, noun phrases, and prepositional phrases in the sentence. The word order of a basic sentence in English has the subject noun phrase first, followed by the verb, and then the object noun phrase, as in:
          The girl    saw   the boy.
          Subject   Verb  Object
In this section, you will learn that the word order of a basic SENĆOŦEN sentence is quite different from English.
