- <p>In a topic-comment sentence, the usual <a href="word_order"
- title="wikilink">word order</a> is rearranged a bit in order to
- emphasize a certain part of a sentence. The part that is to be
- emphasized becomes the topic, and moves to the beginning of the
- sentence, with the comment on the topic coming after the topic has
- been stated.</p>
- <h3 id="examples">Examples</h3>
- <p>Just make sure to put a comma after the topic if you are writing
- the sentence down!</p>
