مقدم کردن: قرار دادن مفعول در ابتدا
Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Move the object to the very start of the sentence to create intense focus or link ideas smoothly.
- Move the direct object to the front: 'That movie I loved.'
- Do not add a pronoun at the end: 'That movie I loved (it)' is wrong.
- Keep the Subject + Verb order the same: No inversion is needed here.
مرور کلی
Object + Subject + Verb. بیایید این را با دستور زبان فارسی مقایسه کنیم.The truth you will never know، تأکید بر «حقیقت» است، نه بر «تو». در فارسی، ما برای این تأکید از تغییر لحن یا آوردن مفعول در اول جمله استفاده میکنیم، اما در انگلیسی، این ساختار یک ابزار رسمی برای ایجاد تعلیق یا تأکید بر اهمیت یک مفهوم است.*The truth will you know). ترتیب صحیح به این صورت است: ابتدا مفعول، سپس فاعل و در نهایت فعل (با حفظ ترتیب زمانی یا وجهی).I have read that book. |That book I have read. |He has never seen such beauty باشد، با پیشنهادن مفعول به Such beauty he has never seen میرسیم. دقت کنید که فاعل (he) و فعل (has seen) دقیقاً به همان ترتیب باقی ماندهاند. این ثبات در ترتیب فاعل و فعل، باعث میشود جمله همچنان خبری (Declarative) باقی بماند و به یک جمله پرسشی تبدیل نشود.Money he has, but time he lacks. در اینجا تضاد بین پول و زمان با پیشنهادن مفعول به وضوح نشان داده شده است. ۳.- 1وارونگی اشتباه: فارسیزبانان به دلیل عادت به ساختار زبان خود، گاهی فکر میکنند با جابجایی مفعول، باید جای فاعل و فعل را هم عوض کنند (مانند جملات پرسشی). مثلاً میگویند
*This movie have I seenکه غلط است. باید بگوییدThis movie I have seen. - 2تکرار ضمایر: در فارسی ما میگوییم «این فیلم را من دیدمش». این تکرار مفعول (فیلم -> ش) در انگلیسی کاملاً اشتباه است. نباید بگویید
*That movie I have seen it. ضمیرitباید حذف شود چون مفعول به ابتدای جمله منتقل شده است. - 3استفاده بیش از حد: چون این ساختار در فارسی بسیار طبیعی است، زبانآموزان ایرانی ممکن است در انگلیسی هم بیش از حد از آن استفاده کنند که باعث میشود متن «غیرطبیعی» یا «خیلی نمایشی» به نظر برسد. این ساختار باید فقط برای تأکید استفاده شود، نه به عنوان ساختار پیشفرض جملات.
That I know. |Never have I known that. |That is known by me. |Object Fronting ما مفعول را به اول میبریم اما نقش دستوری آن (مفعول بودن) را حفظ میکنیم، در حالی که در Passive Voice نقش دستوری آن به فاعل تغییر میکند.- 1آیا این ساختار در انگلیسی محاورهای استفاده میشود؟ خیر، عمدتاً در متون نوشتاری رسمی یا سخنرانیهای تأکیدی استفاده میشود.
- 2آیا میتوانم هر مفعولی را به اول جمله بیاورم؟ بله، اما بهتر است مفعولهایی را انتخاب کنید که اطلاعات مهمی دارند تا تأکید جمله حفظ شود.
- 3چرا نباید بعد از مفعول، فعل کمکی بیاورم؟ چون با این کار جمله شما به صورت «پرسشی» یا «وارونه» در میآید که معنای جمله را کاملاً تغییر میدهد.

Meanings
Object fronting is a stylistic device where the direct or indirect object is moved to the beginning of a clause to provide emphasis, contrast, or to maintain thematic cohesion between sentences.
Emphatic Focus
Used to highlight a specific piece of information that the speaker feels is the most important part of the message.
“A more ridiculous story I have never heard.”
“This much I can tell you: the project is delayed.”
Anaphoric Linking (Cohesion)
Used to link the current sentence to the previous one by placing 'given' information at the start.
“He promised to help us. That promise he kept.”
“We need to find a solution. This problem we must solve together.”
Contrastive Fronting
Used to contrast two different objects by placing them at the start of consecutive clauses.
“One car he bought; the other he leased.”
“The red wine I liked, but the white wine I hated.”

Object fronting is extremely common in Jewish dialects of English for ironic or emphatic effect (e.g., 'A genius he is not!').
Often used in formal British oratory and classical literature to sound more authoritative or poetic.
Fronting is used for dramatic topicalization, often with a specific rhythmic pause after the object.
English evolved from Germanic languages which had more flexible word order and a 'Verb-Second' (V2) constraint.

No. Passive voice changes the verb (e.g., 'The book was read'). Fronting keeps the verb active but just moves the object to the start (e.g., 'The book I read').
Yes, but it's less common. For example: 'To my mother I gave the flowers' (though usually, we front the direct object: 'The flowers I gave to my mother').
Yoda uses OSV (Object-Subject-Verb) almost exclusively. While English speakers use it for emphasis, Yoda uses it as his default, which is why it sounds so strange.
Usually, no. In 'This I know,' there is no comma. However, if the fronted part is very long, a comma can help the reader.
It can be both! In 'That I don't like,' it's informal. In 'This policy we shall uphold,' it's very formal.
It's a pronoun left behind after moving the object (e.g., the 'it' in 'The cake I ate it'). It is a mistake in standard English.
Yes, this is called 'Adjective Fronting' (e.g., 'Strange people they were'). It follows the same logic as object fronting.
The basic meaning stays the same, but the 'focus' or 'emphasis' changes completely.
