3. An adjective placed before its noun is more emphatic than when it
follows. When great emphasis is desired, the adjective is separated
from its noun by other words.

«Fīlia mea casam parvam nōn amat» («parvam» not emphatic)
«Fīlia mea parvam casam nōn amat» («parvam» more emphatic)
«Parvam fīlia mea casam nōn amat» («parvam» very emphatic)

4. Interrogative words usually stand first, the same as in English.

5. The copula (as «est», «sunt») is of so little importance that it
frequently does not stand last, but may be placed wherever it sounds
well.
