How do you structure a Latin sentence?
But, although Latin word order can be very flexible, typical Latin word order generally follows the pattern Subject- Object-Verb (SOV). English word order is Subject-Verb-Object (SVO). For instance: S V O English - The boy sees the dog. S O V Latin – puer canem videt.
What is the position of an adjective in Latin?
Adjective position
In Latin, an adjective can either precede or follow its noun: for example, "a good man" can be both bonus vir or vir bonus. Some kinds of adjectives are more inclined to follow the noun, others to precede, but "the precise factors conditioning the variation are not immediately obvious".
What is the Latin word order for prepositional phrases?
Prepositional Phrases
Adjectives of quantity, however, usually come before the preposition; the adjective and matching noun thus “bracket” the phrase. Prepositional phrases, as adverbial, usually come before the verb at the end of the sentence.
