The classes/school I attend uses the order. I didn't know we could move them around. Does that mean I might've gotten wrong answers correct??? LOL I love this languange, this video is an eye-opener and I'm debating if I should show this to my fellow classmates. Thank you! I'll stick to the preferred by my teacher/school for now.

But, it the sentence structure is so flexible, how come in exams like the JLPT there are exercises specifically designated to check if you can put the words in a sentence in the "correct order"?

Thanks for the lesson. You helped me very much with sentence rules. Is there a video about sentences when they have more than one verb? That's another big question I have. Regarding conjunctions too.Thanks sensei

At this example (6:05) You write the time WITHOUT particle "ni" but in pronunciation you said it, even when you change the order you always say the particle "ni" with "roku ji", but you didn't write it, so now im a little confused. You just forgot it? or there is a rule of a thing about it?
Thanks a lot, you have been greatly helping me.

As for adverbs of time, is it better to put them at the beginning before the subject (I'm referring to kinou, kyou and ashita)? Because from what I understand, that's correct. In fact, as for adverbs in general, should they come after the subject?

Thank you I understood a lot in this video. You saved me 😭🫶🏻🫶🏻

At (8:03) It is "I studied at the library weekend" It should have something between "library" and "weekend" staying like this: "I studied at the library (This, on, last, at) weekend" and when i translate this sentence it gives me the particle "ni" together with "Shuumatsu" stying "Shuumatsu Or "shuumatsu" is just like yesterday/today which does not require particle "ni" ??
PS: In english the sentence would be correct if like this "Weekend I studied at the library", i don't know to be honest, writing all this i think i might be wrong.
