VERB - DIRECT OBJECT SEPARATION

Theory:

In a normal sentence, the verb and its object must always go together.
- He plays football in the park. (PLAYS and FOOTBALL must not be separated.)

It is a mistake to put another element between the verb and its object:
- He speaks VERY WELL English. (VERY WELL is incorrectly positioned.)
- He speaks English VERY WELL. (VERY WELL is correctly positioned.)
