Agent Verb Object




An example of AVO order in English is:

Sam ate the oranges.


In this, ''Sam'' is the subject, ''ate'' is the verb, ''the oranges'' is the object.

Some languages are more complicated: in German and in Dutch , an ancestral AOV order is retained in Subordinate Clause s even though AVO is the unmarked order in main declarative clauses. (See V2 Word Order .)
