In English yes, because the only way to tell which part of the sentence is 
which is by word order.  (Most?) other languages have other methods besides 
just the order of the words.

This catches me out sometimes if I try to translate a phrase directly from 
German to English, sometimes I get completely the wrong meaning because I 
paid too much attention to the word order and not the words themselves.
