How do you form a sentence properly 

Is it always the same just like how you position it in english.

EGI (phom) rak(love) khun(you)

does it always works this way ? she taught me this koa rah tee rak na ( means i love you with a soft tone due to "na" right?)

whats the difference between this two ? 

Hehe im bad im just a newbie dude learning thai, pardon me if i speak something wrong >< 

thank you~

As the previous poster said for ,simple sentences the order is Subject, Verb, Object as in English.  Beyond that you start to get differences in the word order.  English puts adjectives before the noun, Thai puts them after and inserts classifiers.  When you get to questions, future statements etc the word order starts to diverge from English.

Thai grammar is too complicated to explain in a webboard posting.  Get your self a copy of Thai:  An Essential Grammar by David Smyth.  It covers the basics very well.  If you search, you may well find a PDF version on the Internet.

The good news is that the word order in questions is the same as in statements, so Thai is simpler than English here.
