In which order is this sentence? In the middle of the road sat a quiet little toad. A. natural order B. inverted order

OpenStudy (hugsnotughs):

Do you know what natural and inverted order mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (hugsnotughs):

Okay, so then you should be able to kn which option to eliminate, but just to remind you; Natural Order in literature means the subject (noun) comes before the predicate (verb). This is the way we generally write our sentences. An inverted sentence is a sentence in a normally subject-first language in which the predicate (verb) comes before the subject (noun).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it inverted

OpenStudy (hugsnotughs):

I agree because the toad is the subject, which comes before the predicate which I believe to be is sat.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks

OpenStudy (hugsnotughs):

A pleasure.
