Day 17: Use the Subject-Verb-Object sentence structure.

The most powerful sentence structure is the Subject-Verb-Object structure. When readers find sentence components are placed in that order, and close to the beginning of the sentence, they will have less difficulty understanding what you have written.

Based on previous strategies, you will want to use the rhetorical subject and the rhetorical action as your subject and main verb. Consider this sentence.

“On the bench in the park sat the man with the brown hat calmly feeding the pigeons.”

This sentence has the verb “sat” before the subject “man.” When we place items in order, close to the beginning of the sentence, we get

“The man with the brown hat sat on the park bench calmly feeding the pigeons.”

If we think “feed” is the rhetorical action, then the object will be “pigeons.” Using these, we might get

“The man with the brown hat calmly fed the pigeons from the park bench.”

Now we have this:

Subject: “Man with the brown hat”
Main verb: “fed”
Object: “pigeons”

With these sentence components in order, the sentence is less convoluted and easier to understand.
