AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Even more unusual is the way Yoda famously speaks, ordering his sentences object-subject-verb, or OSV: The lightsaber Yoda grasped. Or, to use an example from an actual Yoda utterance: “Much to learn, you still have.”

Detailed explanation-2: -Yodish Sentence Structure Yoda makes words plural the way we normally make words plural and conjugates his verbs the same way we do. The only difference between standard English and Yodish (as some websites call it) is the word order. Typically, standard English sentences follow a subject-verb-object order.

Detailed explanation-3: -Yoda’s syntax follows a distinctly different pattern. For the most part, his sentences follow the object-subject-verb pattern. This pattern is only found in 0.3% of the world’s languages.

Detailed explanation-4: -Of course, pretty much everything that Yoda says sounds both cryptic and not-quite-grammatically-correct to traditional English speakers. But his seemingly bizarre sentence structure is actually totally legitimate.
