      I thought that a persons name was at the end of a sentence when it was in the form of a question. I am wondering if “Te” is the reason why.

      The Spanish language is very flexible. It isn’t like English where you’re limited to subject/verb placement.

      In Spanish… I can put the subject anywhere in the sentence and it will still make sense.. with questions there is also that same flexibility.

      So I believe the sentence was:
      ¿Te dijo Ana su número de teléfono?

      This could also be:
      ¿Ana te dijo su número de teléfono?

      or
      ¿Te dijo su número de teléfono Ana?

      All would make sense and some might be preferred from one person to another.
