Why Word Order Matters in English
Word order is crucial in English because it affects meaning. Unlike some languages that use case endings or particles to show word relationships, English relies heavily on word order to convey meaning.
This exercise helps you:
- Internalize English sentence patterns
- Recognize how natural speed speech fit into sentences
- Develop a natural feel for correct English structure
- Improve both listening and grammar simultaneously
