Homework help.

Sorry. This kind of seems like a silly place to go for help with my homework, but i just can't figure this out.

I'm very confused by the word order in Russian sentences. Any helpful tips or tricks? I've heard that the most important word is supposed to go at the end of the sentence, and that knowledge helps a little bit, but i'm still having trouble forming sentences with the vocabulary i know.

Also, the sentence (in my homework) that currently has me hung up is "In which park do they often (usually) walk?" How would i write that in Russian?
Thanks for any help.

The word order is pretty flexible but still follows a more or less established order, i.e. you probably will not go wrong if you put noun first, predicate after it and all the objects afterwards. This is for affirmative sentences. For the questions, you put the thing of which you ask first and everything else after it. E.g.:

Маша обычно гуляет в парке.
Где Маша обычно гуляет? (в парке)
Кто обычно гуляет в парке? (Маша)
Что Маша обычно делает в парке? (гуляет)
