Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. it's also important to understand the rules for word order in the study of English. if the speaker puts words in the wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker's sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes, but times if the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change. let's see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.She only likes apples.Only she likes apples I have seen the film already."I have already seen the film.When you are learning English, please remember to get the spirit of the language .And you should also remember to use it like the English speaker.
