Die Worstellung.
Well any foreign language  consists of  three kind of sentences. They are affirmative, negative and interrogative.

 Enlgish language.

Word order is very important in German.because:

1.If the words are jumbled , it doesn't make sense.
2.It needs to make sense.
3.We need to be able to read it properly.
4.Otherwise people would get confused.
5.Otherwise people wouldn't understand you.
6.If you had a sentence like " With dogs like walking in the morning I" It wouldn't make sense.
7. And for sure we need it for communicating clearly.

Any affirmative sentence you can make according to the following pattern: SVOTMP.
Well, let's start from the beginning.

S- subject.
What is a subject?  The subject is the person, place, or thing that acts, is acted on, or is described in the sentence.There are three types of subjects:- simple subject (she, cat, it),complete subject (the black cat,the old house), compound subject (she and I, cat and dog).
V -verb or predicate
What is a predicate? The predicate usually follows the subject , tells what the subject does, has, or is, what is done to it, or where it is.It is the action or description that occurs in the sentence.There are three kinds of predicate:simple (stand, keep up), complete (lay on the beach, go to the cinema), compound (read na dlisten to music).

O-object.
What is a object? The object is a person or thing affected by the action described in the verb.Subject answers on the following questions: What? and To who?
There are two kinds of object:

• Direct object: Refers to a person or thing affected by the action of the verb.
• Indirect object: Refers to a person or thing who receives the direct object.

REMEMBER: Indirect Object stands before Direct Object till Direct Object becomes pronoun it will stand after Indirect Object.
