 Word order refers to the way words are arranged in a sentence.

 

The standard word order in English is: Subject + Verb + Object

 

The rule of thumb is that the Subject comes before the Verb and the Verb comes before the Object.

 

Adjectives often come before the noun they describe. 
 
In English, we never put an adverb between a verb and the object.
