I’m Anglophone but trying to learn French to better understand half the conversations spoken during family gatherings and I gotta say that English does not have a monopoly on being a confusing-ass language (and my Indian English-speaking friends who moved to Canada trying to learn French as their like, 4th language can attest to that 🫠)

I think a big part is emphasis. English tends to put the emphasis on the last word of the sentence so not saying it sounds weird.
