This lesson is about word orders, which can be mainly divided into six types, with small differences inside each type.
Here are some examples:
S means subject, O means object, V means verb.
SOV and SVO are the most popular, accounting for about 4/10 each.
There can be more than one order in a language, the listed are just the most common cases.
Note that some languages omit first person singular (and even other persons), then indicate the person with conjugation of verbs.

Example sentence 2 has a subject, a verb, a direct object.
Example sentence 3 has a subject, a verb, a direct object, an indirect object.
