English sentences with Spanish syntax

In general, Spanish word order is more flexible than English.  However, learners need to be aware that certain parts of speech – such as direct and indirect object pronouns and prepositions – do follow strict word-order rules.  A strategy for dealing with this is to make up a sentence in English using Spanish word order as a way to remember it.
