is to be built another road vs another road is to be built

is to be built another road vs another road is to be built

Do I need to invert the sentence if I move "southeast from the roundabout" to the beginning of the sentence?

  1. Another road is to be built southeast from the roundabout. ✔

  2. Southeast from the roundabout is to be built another road.❓

  3. Southeast from the roundabout another road is to be built.❓



Top Answer/Comment:

In a declarative sentence in English, the subject needs to come before the verb. So #1 is correct:

Another road is to be built southeast from the roundabout.

But #2 is incorrect:

Southeast from the roundabout is to be built another road (incorrect)

#3 sounds awkward. If the road was already in the process of being built, it would be correct to say:

Southeast from the roundabout, another road is being built.

Otherwise, for the future tense to sound natural, you need a subject and a verb. For example:

Southeast from the roundabout, they will be building another road.
