Hola Gerg!
Ok, the answer Angie posted is very good; As she said, the placing of both, subject and verb, is the same in both languages. But Angie was also right when she wrote that the adjective does not work the same way: in Spanish, the adjective is placed after the noun, but in English not.
i.e.: El libro [color:"red"]rojo[/color] / The [color:"red"]red [/color]book.
The only exception, in Spanish, is in poetry / literature:
El [color:"blue"] azul [/color] mar / The blue [color:"blue"]sea[/color].

I can't seem grasp the placing of the subject and verb. It is backwards compared to english. Any good books available to help with this?
