How it works
In a neutral statement beginning with its subject, put the verb after the subject and the object after the verb: who + action + what. This basic order is familiar from English. The subject is already supplied in each exercise, so do not repeat it after the verb. A subject can have more than one word. This lesson practises subject-first statements; questions and statements starting with another phrase come later.

Äter follows subject hon; bröd follows the verb as its object.
Min bror läser en bok.

The two-word subject min bror is followed by the finite verb and its object.
