You can put the subject anywhere in the sentence thus if you see:
DOG BITES MAN in English, the word order tells you the dog is biting the man and you must be in that order. In Hebrew you can any of the words first, second or third depending on emphasis, since the present of ?? before the noun tells you who is biting whom. Caveat: in modern Israel, to be considered part of the Ashkenazi elite you must use English word order (subject predicate object).
