the difference, if you're looking to dive deeper into this, is that English is a more analytic language, and Latin is a more synthetic language. In Latin you mostly alter the form of the words to match their meaning. In English you mostly change order and add auxiliary words to change meaning. I'm qualifying these with "mostly" because nothing is all one way or all another, generally.

Word order does matter a bit in Latin, but much less than it does in English. "Dog bites man" and "man bites dog" are different due to word order. In Latin you can write "canis hominem mordet" in _any_ order and have it mean "dog bites man" because that's the only thing those nouns in those cases can mean. To do "man bites dog" you have to say "homo canem mordet" (again, in any order). Conventionally, though, you end a sentence or a subordinate clause with its verb, and the subject that matches up with a verb is usually the one closest to space-wise.
