I have problems with words order. I saw yesterday a video about word order in English language. The rule was: who,what ,where,when,how and why I try to write some sentences in different tenses following the rule. I am going to go to school tomorow by bus because it is obligatory. I usually go swimming to the leisure center in the afternoon by bicycle because is good for my health. I have been watching English movies at my home every nights to improving my listening skills. I had eaten pizza before I got home last night because I starved. I got married in Mexico two years ago by accidentally because I did not know the bride. I am not sure these senteces are correct or not. I appreciate if someone could give me some adices. Thanks a lot

I have problems with word order.

Yesterday I saw a video about word order in English.
The rule was: who, what ,where, when, how and why.
I try to write some sentences in different tenses following the rule.
I am going to go to school tomorrow by bus because it is obligatory.
I usually go swimming in the leisure center in the afternoon by bicycle because it is good for my health.
I have been watching English movies at my home every night to improve my listening skills.
I had eaten pizza before I got home last night because I was hungry.
I got married in Mexico two years ago by accident because I did not know the bride.
I am not sure these senteces are correct or not. I appreciate if someone could give me some advice. Thanks a lot.

I am not sure if the advice you were given is good. There is similar advice for journalists: ask who? what? where? when? how? and why? But they could ask these questions in any convenient order.

Very well written!

That is a good general rule, though occasionally it can be altered slightly to improve the flow, for example, your first sentence could have been 'Yesterday, I saw a video about word order in the English Language' in which case 'When' has been used first.

Saying that your other sentences work very well I have made a slight adjustment to a couple of them below which just improves the flow a little :)

I have tried to write some sentences in different tenses following the rule.
I am going to go to school tomorrow by bus because it is obligatory.
I usually go swimming at the leisure center in the afternoon by bicycle because is good for my health.
I have been watching English movies at home every night to improve my listening skills.
I ate pizza before I got home last night because I was starving.
I accidentally got married in Mexico two years ago, I did not know the bride.

I hope this helps, if you'd like any further explanation let me know :)

Nagyon jó! Nekem a magyar szórend nehéz!
