The standard order of elements in a basic affirmative sentence in English is essential for clarity of communication. Analyze the statements about English syntactic structure.


I.The most common order in simple affirmative sentences is Subject − Verb − Object/Complement (SVO).

II.Frequency adverbs (such as always, never, often) are generally placed before the main verb, except with the verb "to be," where they come after it.

III.In yes/no questions that use auxiliary verbs (do, be, have) or modals (can, will), the auxiliary or modal generally begins the sentence, preceding the subject.


The correct statements are:


A

I and III only.


B

II and III only.


C

I and II only.


D

I, II, and III.
