Mandarin Chinese sentence structure is quite different than English or other European languages. Since the word order doesn’t match, sentences which are translated word-for-word to Mandarin will be difficult to understand. You must learn to think in Mandarin Chinese when speaking the language.
Just like English, Mandarin Chinese subjects come at the beginning of the sentence.
