Basic Word Order
English sentences usually follow Subject + Verb + Object order. Adjectives (describing words) go before the noun, not after.
The rule
Subject + Verb + Object · adjective + noun
Right and wrong
I eat rice.
Rice eat I.
English follows Subject + Verb + Object — not object first.
She has a red car.
She has a car red.
The adjective "red" goes before the noun "car", not after.
He speaks English well.
He speaks well English.
The object usually comes right after the verb, before other details.
I have a beautiful house.
I have a house beautiful.
Describing words come before the noun in English.
