English manages the exact same thing without the leading punctuation.
English changes the order of the words of the sentence. Spanish uses punctuation marks. It’s just differences in languages. Personally I appreciate them since it helps me read Spanish quicker with fewer parsing errors.

Yes, English uses word order to define grammar in many more sentences than Spanish, but not exclusively.
That’s not a direct comparison.

English, you mean that notoriously easy to parse and learn language that has rules so obscure that native speakers don’t even realize they’re adhering to them? Tell that to my Irish old small lovely mother.
