Why do verbs sometimes come first in some sentences?
- Squawked something. --> I see this term in an English story book.
- Something squawked. --> But this is what I usually say.
We can't say 'Went he'. Can we?!

"Squawked something" indicates that a person or animal made a noise. For example "The bird squawked something". The thing doing the squawking will always be know in this phrase.
"Something squwaked" indicates that a squwaking sound was made, but we do not know who made it. For example "something squawked from behind the bushes".
