Editing Ido (section)

===Syntax===
Ido word order is generally the same as English ([[subject–verb–object]]), so the sentence ''Me havas la blua libro'' is the same as the English "I have the blue book", both in meaning and word order. There are a few differences, however:
* Adjectives can precede the noun as in English, or follow the noun as in Spanish. Thus, ''Me havas la libro blua'' means the same thing.
* Ido has the [[accusative]] suffix ''-n''. Unlike Esperanto, this suffix is only required when the object of the sentence is not clear, for example, when the subject-verb-object word order is not followed. Thus, ''La blua libron me havas'' also means the same thing.

Ido generally does not impose rules of grammatical [[Agreement (linguistics)|agreement]] between grammatical categories within a sentence. For example, the verb in a sentence is invariable regardless of the number and person of the subject. Nor must the adjectives be pluralized as well the nouns{{spnd}}in Ido ''the large books'' would be ''la granda libri'' as opposed to the Esperanto ''la grandaj libroj''.

Negation occurs in Ido by simply adding '''ne''' before a verb: '''Me ne havas libro''' means "I do not have a book". This as well does not vary, and thus the "I do not", "He does not", "They do not" before a verb are simply '''Me ne''', '''Il ne''', and '''Li ne'''. In the same way, past tense and future tense negatives are formed by '''ne''' before the conjugated verb. "I will not go" and "I did not go" become '''Me ne iros''' and '''Me ne iris''' respectively.

Yes/no questions are formed by the particle '''ka''' in front of the question. "I have a book" (me havas libro) becomes '''Ka me havas libro?''' (do I have a book?). '''Ka''' can also be placed in front of a noun without a verb to make a simple question, corresponding to the English "is it?" '''Ka Mark?''' can mean, "Are you Mark?", "Is it Mark?", "Do you mean Mark?" depending on the context.
