In Egyptian, the verb comes first in the sentence, then the subject (the person or thing doing the verb), then the object (what it's being done to).

For example, if we take the sentence 'Danny drank the water', in Egyptian the order would be 'Drank Danny the water.'

Adjectives go after the noun they describe and agree with the gender of it. So a feminine noun like Her Majesty has a feminine adjective with a 't' ending. For example the word for beautiful, nefer, becomes nefret.

Also, there is no punctuation in Egyptian - no full stops or capital letters. Words do not have gaps between them - not even sentences! And often hieroglyphs are stacked on top of each other to save space. If they are, then always read them down. And there is no word for 'and'.
