English — word order
One sentence in four shapes — statement, negative, yes/no question, wh-question — to see how the word order changes.
| Type | Sentence | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Statement | Anna is at home. | Anna is at home. |
| Negative | Anna is not at home. | Anna is not at home. |
| Yes/no question | Is Anna at home? | Is Anna at home? |
| Wh-question | Where is Anna? | Where is Anna? |
⚠ Note
German keeps the verb in second position and inverts for questions; English needs the helper “do” (with most verbs); Romance languages can make a question by intonation alone; Polish adds “czy” for yes/no questions.
