I go to school (subject-> verb->object)
나는 학교에 간다(subject->object->verb)
I like snacks
나는 간식을 좋아한다(S->O->V)
However koreans can understand the sentence, wherever you write because there are marks that shows it’s the subject(이/가), object(을/를)(but some Koreans don’t write that mark because they know its subject/object:D)
Ex) 나(I) 학교(school) 간다(go)(right grammar)
-> still can understand if you write like this
나 간다 학교/학교 간다 나

so if I wrote "I go to school" in that order, it wouldn't be proper but most Koreans would still understand?

Yes:)
but correct order in Korean is I school go 나는 학교에 간다
