Mariz, nǐ hǎo!

That’s a really broad question, very hard to answer. There are no certain rules for the translation between English and Chinese. You should first learn the structures of Chinese and where to put certain words in Chinese sentences. After that you can get a general sense of how to translate from Chinese to English.
Also there are many Chinese sentences which can not be translated directly because they don’t exist in English; it’s a culture thing more than just language.
