flat (O). = You (S) have (V) flat (O).) Subject personal pronouns are usually omitted in literary language. They are more frequent in colloquial language. Questions The VSO word order is often used for the question formation. Questions are primarily indicated by prosodic means, especially by intonation, in speech and by a question mark (?) in writing: Petr nemá nový byt. – Peter doesn't have a new flat. (Peter (S) not has (V) (a) new flat (O)(.)) Petr nemá nový byt? – Peter doesn't have a new flat? (Peter (S) not has (V) (a) new flat (O)(.)) Nemá Petr nový byt? – Doesn't Peter have a new flat? (Not has (V) Peter (S) (a) new flat (O)(?)) Attributes The position of noun attributes depends primarily on whether they are in grammatical accordance with the superior noun or not. Attributive adjectives Attributive adjectives are usually prepositive, preceding superior nouns. The case and the number of adjectives and nouns are always in the grammatical accordance: adjectives are declined together with the noun: a new flat: nový byt (nom.), nového bytu (gen.), novému bytu (dat.), etc. In some special cases the adjective can be placed after the noun: in the scientific terminology, names of historical persons, listings, for the emphasis, etc.: kyselina sírová (acid (noun) sulphuric (adj.)) – sulphuric acid, meduňka lékařská – lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) Karel IV. (Čtvrtý) – Charles IV Prodáváme dřevo smrkové, borové a lipové. – We sell spruce, pine and linden wood. ((null-S) Sell (V) wood (O) spruce (adj.), pine (adj.) and linden (adj.).) Complex constructions are also usually postpositive: hodiny řízené rádiem – radio-controlled clock (clock controlled radio (instr.)) In declension: Genitive: hodin řízených rádiem Dative: hodinám řízeným rádiem etc. Note that "rádiem" remains in the instrumental form and imitates the adjective, not the noun. A further order inversion can occur, maybe influenced by English: rádiem řízené hodiny However, that word order is not natural for Czech and may cause confusion. Appositional adjuncts Attributes that are not in the grammatical accordance with the superior nouns are usually postpositional. Such attributes keep their grammatical form regardless of noun declension: Clitics Unstressed words, clitics, form stress units with preceding stressed words. For rhythm, they are not the first words in sentences. They usually have the second position after the first part of a sentence. If more than one clitic occurs in a sentence, the order is the following: The
