Why does the sentence "Glimpses do ye seem to see of that (...) ?" starts with 'glimpses' instead of with regular 'do'? [duplicate]
Besides SVO, which are the word orders that can be found in English? Are there any that are peculiar to dialects such as Singlish or Indian English? Please provide an example sentence for each order along with pertinent information such as tense, mood, voice, etc.
Solution 1:
All of them, though often at the stretch of hyperbaton, so most of them would be rare. Still, a short story in 6 word-orders:
SVO "I love you"
VOS "Take me, dear"
VSO Here comes the bride! [No object, but if there was an object it would follow here]
SOV "With this ring, I thee wed".
OVS Passion does not a lifetime make
OSV "I won't talk to him, but my lawyer, I will call".
