Questions kids ask

Why does word order matter?
In English, word order changes meaning — 'The cat chased the dog' is very different from 'The dog chased the cat'.
What is a simple sentence structure?
Many simple sentences follow a subject, then a verb, then the rest — like 'The cat is sleeping'.
Does punctuation matter here?
As you progress, some sentences also ask you to place the correct punctuation mark at the end.
