SENTENCE STRUCTURE

Affirmative prayer in English is built in accordance with the following structure:
Direct + Object +Subject Verb
I eat apples
You need help
We Bought a car


In the negative sentence, the auxiliary is placed before the main verb:
Auxiliary Verb Subject Direct Object denial
I do not eat apples
You do not need help
We Did not buy a car

In the interrogative sentence, the auxiliary is placed at the start of it:
Assistant Direct Object Subject Verb?
Do I eat apples?
Do you need help?
Did we buy a car?

Other additions to the prayer (place, time, etc..) Are usually placed at the end of it:
I eat apples at lunchtime.
You need help in your job.
We Bought a car last Friday.

Normally, the complement of place goes before the snap of time:
I eat apples at home at lunchtime.
You need help in your job right now.
We Bought a car in Madrid last Friday.

When there are adverbs in sentences, they are usually placed in front of the verb in the simple forms, and between the auxiliary and main verb in the compound forms (there are many exceptions):
I always eat apples at home.
I have always eaten apples at home.
You never need help.
Have you never need help.
