 * ==__//**Sentence structure and word order**//__==

-"She played the piano happily in the concert hall on Sunday".
This is an example to revise sentence structure and word order (Subject+Verb+Object+Manner+Place+Time).

You can check the grammar rules and do some exercises on this aspect with the following web page:

- "I like eating out very much, She enjoys travelling a lot". "I would like to go shopping"
This is an example to remember that the object is not separated from the verb. Remember that like is followed by a verb ending in "ing", but "would like" is followed by the "to infinitive".

 * ==__//Subject questions and other questions//__==

- "What happened?", but "Where did it happen"?
Subject questions: when you make a question to ask about the subjects you don't need the auxiliary verb.

You can revise question formation with the exercises in the following pages: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/radio/specials/1535_questionanswer/page53.shtml http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/grammar/frage.htm http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/exercises_list/fragen.htm http://www.oup.com/elt/global/products/englishfile/intplus/a_grammar/file01/nef_int_grammar_1_02/ http://www.oup.com/elt/global/products/englishfile/upperint/a_grammar/file01/nef_upperint_grammar01_a01/ http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/word-order/questions


 * ==__//**Adverb position**//__==

"He also likes cycling, He can also cycle". "I am very tall too."
These are examples of adverb position: frequency adverbs are placed between the subject and the verb, except for the verb "to be". "Also" is placed after be and other verbs that have more than one part and before all the other verbs. "Too" is placed at the end of the sentence.

You can read about grammar rules and practise adverb position using the following pages: http://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/word-order/adverb-position http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/grammar/adverbs_position.htm http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/adverbs.htm http://www.englishpage.com/minitutorials/also.html []
