do you know why i always make mistakes in wrting class ?
I wonder if is there a rule of thump for me to learn the order of all
words, for a funny example,

"The catwoman jumps scratch the batman's arse with her pawns"

The sentence might be incorrect in grammar but in that case i mean each
word(subject, verbs, linking words, preposition, etc)'s order posseses
any rule to be built up ? Please help me to memorize it easier, plzz

The rule of thmp is simply to ask someone to beat you on the head
with a rubber hammer every time you make a mistake in the order.

Batman never plays chess with Catwoman.

The best place for you to learn the rule of thump is a padded cell.

maybe because I have not watched catwoman and batman but sure people
already forgot mouse-and-cat games!
