The rules!

• When forming a question, the conjugated verb
  comes before the pronoun
• Canta Juan?
• When forming an answer the pronoun precedes the
  conjugated verb.
• Si, Juan canta.
• If it is a negative answer. The pronoun still
  precedes the verb but a no is placed in between
  them
• No, Juan no canta.

  correctly placing the pronoun and conjugated
  verb.
