Question

Where in this sentence would one place the word "de" if it was written in Spanish ?

And is there a general rule on where to put the "de" in these situations (i.e name or terms for certain things eg. 'Natural Resources Conservation Service') ?

Also How does one decide on the word order here as in which one comes before the other?

Answer 1

Feliz is good at this, in the absence of an answer from a Spanish native I would accept his.

Sometimes it is hard to explain why a thing is as it is. For example, can you explain all the grammar rules for the word order in your English sentence?

Yes Mary many a time I have seen natives such as Lazarus and Gekkosan say that that is just the way it is said . Many natives do not know themselves why the phrases are spoken as they are but Lazarus is one of the best at explaining the reasons for ... - FELIZ77, Nov 9, 2011

the grammar rules. I am sure that Heidi could tell you too.It usually takes a teacher to explain or a native speaker who has studiied the grammar like Lazarus - FELIZ77, Nov 9, 2011

Answer 2

I think it would be written as:

but it could instead be written as

I am not 100% sure so please wait for confirmation from a native or advanced Spanish speaker. You can often find what their level is by checking their profile although not everyone displays this.

I hope this helps

can you please explain how you arrived at your answer? - Acelata, Nov 8, 2011

From experience of having had to write sentences in Spanish, from obseravtion of how Spanish natives construct their sentences and learning from past mistakes, which have been corrected by natives or people with advanced level Spanish speaking skills. - FELIZ77, Nov 8, 2011
