The Japanese sentence structure takes this order:

(3) Object of Preposition followed by a Preposition such as (to) (e え),
(From) (kara から), (on) (ni に).
(4) Question Tool (When) (itsu いつ)
(5) An Object followed by (o を).
(7) The Verb (is) (desu です).

Look at this PowerPoint I've just made...
Can you check if something wrong?
I think it really makes things simple for me...

But can you check whether this order is correct.
When is your birthday (English).pptx
I enjoyed your PowerPoint... the pictures are pretty, especially the clock is so cute...^^

I think these rules will apply to simple sentences such as 'when's your birthday' etc. but the word order in Japanese language is not so strictly fixed so, for example, you can put '(2) adverbs of time' before '(1) subject' or sometimes after '(3) prepositional phrase.'

Oh wait, we don't have prepositions--I think we call 「が、の、を、に、へ、と、より、から、で、や」'case particles'...
