What is the sentence structure for German
I had posted a silly statement and my notebook (ich bin faul)
And I noticed in one of the corrections it would have translated into:
"I want not to work go" 
How do I figure out German sentence structure

Answer

I'm afraid that question is too broad for a short answer. There's plenty of introductory resources available, e.g.:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_sentence_structure
https://www.germanveryeasy.com/sentence-structure
https://www.thoughtco.com/german-sentences-in-the-right-order-4068769

But the details can still get tricky, and in many cases the word order is not strictly fixed anyway.

Answer

"Ich bin faul" is correct. It translates to "I am lazy" Subject - Predicate - Object 
I dont want to go to work (which would be the correct order in English) is said in German as "Ich will nicht zur Arbeit gehen"
