Regel: Altid ligefrem ordstilling. Subjekt før verballed.

NB: Der er som hovedregel ligefrem ordstilling på engelsk - medmindre sætningen indledes med et nægtende/begrænsende udtryk, eller hvis det er en spørgende hovedsætning. Der er også andre regler, men de er ikke lige så almindelige.

#2: The most interesting aspect about the text is not what it says but how it is written

Regel: På engelsk kræver adjektiver et støtteord som f.eks. "aspect", "thing" eller "fact". Adjektiver kan ikke stå substantivistisk, som de kan på dansk.

#5: This will show boys and girls of all ages that there is other sports to enjoy than just fitness training.
#5: This will show boys and girls of all ages that there are other sports to enjoy than just fitness training.

Regel: “sports” er ikke 3. person ental, og det skal derfor ikke være “is”, men “are”.

#6: When I met him in November he was completely changed.

Regel: Altid ligefrem ordstilling. Subjekt før verballed.

Regel: Længere adverbielle led kan ikke stå mellem subjekt og verballed.

#7: This is a particular good time for investing in big business.
#7: This is a particularly good time for investing in big business.

Regel: "particular" henfører til ordet "good", der er et adjektiv. Derfor er "particular" et adverbium, og skal have endelsen -ly.
