The order of words in a two element sentence is same in all languages viz. subject + verb. But in a three -element or four element sentence the order of words varies from language to language. For example, the usual order of words in Bengali, Hindi and Urdu etc is: <subject> <object> <verb> or <subject> <complement> <verb>. Various Indian languages like Bangla, Hindi sentences normally follow SOV structure. English sentence follows SVO. However, it is not uncommon to see other forms also. Other sentence patterns in English: <subject> <verb> <complement> or <subject> <verb> <object> <object> or <subject> <verb> <object> <complement>. Word order in English is relatively more rigid compared to Indian Languages which are called "free word order" languages. We can add such markups in the following way. {{{
