Literary Critique

Review Summary

  • Object + Subject + Verb

أخطاء شائعة

Standard order is boring. Inversion needs a comma or a pause to be felt.

Wrong: ខ្ញុំឃើញព្រះអាទិត្យ។ (I see the sun.)
صحيح: ព្រះអាទិត្យ ខ្ញុំឃើញ។ (The sun, I see.)

Do not invert the verb into the object position; keep the verb associated with the subject.

Wrong: រត់ឆ្កែខ្ញុំ។ (Run my dog.)
صحيح: ឆ្កែខ្ញុំ កំពុងរត់។ (My dog, [it] is running.)

Ensure the logic of the sentence remains clear despite the shift.

Wrong: សៀវភៅអានខ្ញុំ។ (Book read me.)
صحيح: សៀវភៅនេះ ខ្ញុំកំពុងអាន។ (This book, I am reading.)
