In
linguistic typology, subject-verb-object (SVO), is a sentence structure where the
subject comes first, the
verb second, and the
object third. Languages may be classified according to the dominant sequence of these elements. The SVO and
Subject Object Verb orders are by far the two most common, accounting for more than 75% of the world's languages which have a preferred order.

Scandinavian languages follow this order also but change to
VSO when asking a question. Some of these languages, such as English, can also use an OSV structure in certain literary styles, such as poetry.
