Порядок слов в утвердительных предложениях
Для повествовательных предложений в современном английском языке характерен прямой порядок слов, при котором подлежащее предшествует сказуемому:
His house is not far from mine.
В некоторых случаях, однако, возможен обратный порядок слов, т.е. постановка сказуемого перед подлежащим. Такой порядок слов встречается, в частности, в предложениях, в которых на первом месте стоит обстоятельство места, а сказуемое выражено глаголом to be:
On the left is the kitchen.
Прямое дополнение, как правило, следует непосредственно за сказуемым, однако при наличии косвенного дополнения прямое обычно следует за ним. Косвенное дополнение употребляется после таких глаголов, как to give, to show, to send и др., и обозначает лицо, являющееся адресатом действия:
Tell me the way to the station, please.
Give me another book by this author, please.
Если прямое дополнение следует непосредственно за глаголом, то косвенное дополнение превращается в предложное (с предлогом to или for):
Show the books to my sister.
Send them (the books) toyour father.
Примечание: 1)Если прямое дополнение выражено местоимением, то оно обычно следует непосредственно за глаголом:
By them (the new toys) for your children.
2) Если в качестве прямого дополнения выступает местоимение it, то косвенное дополнение, выраженное местоимением, может употребляться после прямого без предлога:
Give me! Или Give it to me!
