Subject and predicate (to be completed)

1. In general, Spanish follows the SVO pattern in English grammar.
2. A few exceptions to the pattern: (a) An "inferrable" subject can be dropped, i.e. a subject that is originally a pronoun (b) A direct or an indirect object as a pronoun: comes after the subject but preceding the verb (c) Both direct and indirect objects as pronouns.
3. In [2a]: VOiOd (where Oi refers to an indirect object and Od refers to a direct object.)
4. In [2b]: {Sp}OpVOd or {Sp}OpV{Oi} (where {Sp} refers to a subject drop, which is optional; Op refers to an object, direct or indirect, as a pronoun; an indirect object is not compulsory, referred to as {Oi})
5. In [2c]: to be completed.
