LessonsFronting the Object: Correction, Restriction and Ordering of ComplementsQuiz

وَتَقْدِيمُ بَعْضِ مَعْمُولَاتِهِ أَيْ مَعْمُولَاتِ الْفِعْلِ عَلَى بَعْضٍ
Advancing some dependents of a verb before other dependents.

This section is not limited to moving a dependent before the verb. The verb may remain first while two dependents exchange their relative positions; verbs of giving illustrate how the recipient and the gift may receive different degrees of attention.

The speaker decides what should be presented first: the person involved, the object transferred, or the circumstance. The underlying grammatical relations remain distinguishable.
