Tagalog sentences can have two forms: Subject-Predicate (S-P) or Predicate-Subject (P-S).

Examples: The house is big.

(S-P) Ang bahay ay malaki.
(P-S) Malaki ang bahay.

** "ay" is a filler word that is loosely like a linking verb in English. The sentences above would be translated into (S-P) The house is big. and (P-S) Big is the house. As you can see, English does not have the P-S form.
