Besides SVO, the two most common are SOV (subject, object, verb), as used in [[Japanese language|Japanese]] (hon(s) wo katta (v)) , and VSO (verb, subject, object), as used in Biblical [[Hebrew]]. Some languages have free word order because the subject and the object have different [[grammatical case|case]] endings.
