Verb-Second Word Order
Verb-second word order means one phrase can come first, but the finite verb still follows immediately.
Examples

Today I go to school.
gehe is second.
Jetzt brauche ich Wasser.
Now I need water.
brauche is second.
Morgen fahren wir.
Tomorrow we drive.
fahren is second.
Common mistake
Putting two normal verbs in position two breaks the main-clause rhythm.
