    For the most part, Vietnamese is an SVO language. However it is also a Topic prominent language, in other words, puts emphasis on the topic of a sentence. For example:

    Sách này, tôi đã đọc qua rồi = This book, I have already read (through).\

    Some example:

    I gave him a book = Tôi cho anh ấy một cuốn sách
    He told me that... = Ông ta/anh ta nói với tôi rằng/là......

    In this case, it is similar to English grammar
