usually puts the most important information at the beginning of a sentence. That\u2019s why time and people often come first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what if you want to highlight a particular object. Something really important? Simple: move it to the front! Doing that shifts it from just \u201can object\u201d to&nbsp;<em>the<\/em>&nbsp;object \u2014 the focus of the sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The verb stays at the end, which makes it easy to add extra details or explanations afterward.
