Word order with tú

Word order with tú

I know that we can put tú before or after the verb in questions:

“¿Tú comes mucha carne?” or “¿Comes tú mucha carne?”

Is it equally common to use either order in statements?

“Tú comes mucha carne.” or “Comes tú mucha carne.”

Thanks.

Hola Marcos

The most common thing is to place the pronoun first ¿Tú comes mucha carne?, but if you want to put more emphasis on "you" you place it after the verb "¿Comes tú mucha carne?" - for example, after I have explained what my diet is like and then I want to focus on you - what are YOUR habits in terms of meat?

I hope this clarified it.

Saludos
