Why is "Jetzt" placed before "Volleyball"

The sentence "Es tut mir leid, dein Arzt spielt jetzt Volleyball" is correct in German, while "est tut mir leid, Dein Artz spielt Volleyball Jetzt" is incorrect. The correct placement of the word "Jetzt" is at the end of the sentence.
In German, word order is more strict than in English. The general word order in a sentence is subject-verb-object (SVO), just like in English. However, there are certain rules and patterns to follow.
In the correct sentence "Es tut mir leid, dein Arzt spielt jetzt Volleyball," the word "jetzt" meaning "now" is correctly placed at the end of the sentence. This follows the typical German word order, where time and manner adverbs tend to come at the end of a sentence.
In the incorrect sentence "est tut mir leid, Dein Artz spielt Volleyball Jetzt," the word order is incorrect. The word "est" is not a valid German word, it should be "es" meaning "it." "Tut mir leid" means "I'm sorry" and usually comes at the beginning of a sentence. Additionally, the capitalization of "Artz" instead of "Arzt" is incorrect. In German, nouns are usually capitalized, but "Arzt," the word for a doctor, should be written lowercase.
So, the correct sentence is "Es tut mir leid, dein Arzt spielt jetzt Volleyball." Remember to use the correct word order and capitalize words properly in German sentences.
