An isolating language is one where the order of words in a sentence is important because the words themselves don't change form to show their role in the sentence.
In English, we often use word order to show the subject and object in a sentence, which is an example of an isolating language structure.
在英語中,我們經常使用詞序來表示句子中的主語和賓語,這是孤立語言結構的一個例子。
