SVO refers to subject, verb, object. An English example of this is I buy the paper. In German this would be rendered Ich kaufe die Zeitung.
- Subject is the agent of the action (such as a person).
- Verb is the action being undertaken (the thing being done eg. buying).
- Object is the item, person or thing that has the action done to it (eg. the paper).
