What is the basic word order in 这个电视节目每个星期都有很多新闻, and how does it compare to English?

The structure is:

• 这个电视节目 – this TV program (subject)
• 每个星期 – every week (time phrase)
• 都 – all / in every case (adverb)
• 有 – have / there is (verb)
• 很多新闻 – a lot of news (object)

So the overall order is:

Subject + Time + (Adverb) + Verb + Object

• 我昨天去了北京。 – I went to Beijing yesterday.
