The normal word order of the declarative sentence is subject-verb or subject-verb-complement. This order is usually changed, however, when an adverbial modifier introduces the sentence: "Beyond the Alps lies Italy." Occasionally, the object is placed before subject and verb: "Lansing, we may never see again."The declarative form is often used in commands:You will kindly do what you are told. (The imperative form would be "Kindly do what you are told/')You must report immediately to General Wiltshire.It is also used in questions:She told you I could play the piano ?He's waiting in the church ?
