How does basic sentence order in Chinese work?

Let’s learn the basic sentence order in Chinese.

Basic sentence order
Simple Sentence
Simple sentences in Chinese are very straightforward. Let's see what order you should follow to make a sentence in Mandarin Chinese. In Chinese, the basic sentence order is:

Structure
[Subject] + [Verb] + [Object]

Example
Here are a few examples using two of the most common verbs in Chinese: 是 (to be) and 有 (to have).

EXAMPLE
我是美国人。 wǒ shì měi guó rén. I am American.
你有钱。 nǐ yǒu qián. You have money.

Complex Sentences
Now that you have the basic sentence structure down pat, it’s time to move on to more complex sentences.

Structure
[Subject] + [When + Where + How] + [Action]
