English Word Order Game
An English game to master word order: the words of a sentence appear scrambled and you must put them in the right order. Each round trains one specific rule — adjective before noun, frequency adverbs between subject and verb, the auxiliary first in questions — and on checking it tells you which rule it was, not just whether you got it right.

Spanish word order is flexible; English is not. Placing the words one by one makes it click that in English position IS grammar, not style.
Every pattern targets a real, frequent error: “a car red”, “she plays always”, “you like football?”. You practise exactly where you fail instead of revising what you already know.
The rule appears after you try, once you have already asked yourself the question. That sticks far better than reading it in a list beforehand.
"The words “yesterday · a film · we · watched” appear and the student builds “We watched a film yesterday”. On checking they read the rule: the time expression goes at the end, never between verb and object."
Prefer to learn without screens? Try this analogue version:
Take an English sentence from your book and write each word on a slip of paper.
Shuffle them and put them back in order without looking at the original.
Check and, if you got it wrong, write the rule you missed next to it.
Repeat the same sentence the next day: if it comes out easily, move on to a longer one.
If you like Word Order, these activities work similar skills:
Translate a sentence from English into Spanish and then, without looking, back into English. The order changes you make are exactly what needs work.
In any English text, underline the adjectives and check they always come before the noun. Confirm the rule with real material.
Listen to an English song with the lyrics scrambled by lines and put them back in order. Same exercise, with rhythm.
