Order of Sentence--Advanced Rocket Spanish book

On page 2 of the subject book the following is given, Upside down question mark, "El ano pasado viviste en Argentina, no?" Meaning, You lived in Argentina last year right? Can one also say: Upside down question mark, "Viviste en Argentina el ano pasado?" meaning did you live in Argentina last year? I am only aware of reverse ordering with respect to English when one looks at adjectives. Do adjectives follow all types of words such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, prepositional phrases, etc? I have notice a reverse ordering that deals with people's names as well. Instead of saying Mario comio anoche I hear things like "El comio anoche, Mario" I don't understand this grammatical formation. Thank you

This discussion from spanish.about.com may help: __http://spanish.about.com/od/sentencestructure/a/sentenceorder.htm__ If you need more information, try putting something like "word order in Spanish" (with the quotation marks) into Google. This is obviously an issue that puzzles lots of English speakers learning Spanish.

haroelant Instead of typing: " Upside down question mark " you can actually add the special characters . Look at the left side ..there are ¿ ¡ á é í ó ú ñ Antonio

Thank you nohablo Antonio-- I was going to ask where these special characters where on my keyboard, but I see they are part of this website. Thank you. Henk Roelant

If you have an English/American layout ( or maybe Dutch?), they will not be there of course. But *nohablo* has posted somewhere on this forum about special characters ( special key combinations ). Please do a search. You also can buy a Spanish layout keyboard ( $10 to $15 ). Depending if your systems " plug and play " works properly or not, you will have to reboot or not. I don't know windows that well.
