I think I am correct in noting that in English, “many” is considered a plural, so “many children are” is correct, but mnoho is singular, so ”mnoho dětí je”
This has to do with Czech numbers. MNOHO is not a number per se but since it defines quantity, it behaves in a similar way. Mnoho, málo, trochu... all description of amounts behave as number 5 and up.
More on numbers 5 and higher can be found here https://www.duolingo.com/skill/cs/Numbers-2
More on numbers 1-4 can be found under Numbers 1
Mnoho, trochu and similar are like numbers above four. Use genitive and a singular verb.

myslim, že pamotuju se učit, slova jaka “tady„ jedí první?? tady proč poslední?
If I can decypher what you are trying to say -> there is no such a rule. The most important new information is often, not always, last.

"the most important new information," okay, interesting. i think i know what that means maybe? in this sentence "here" is kind of emphasized? (i think i remember learning that words like "tady" go at the beginning of the sentence. maybe it was only circumstantial to some sentences i was working on months ago and now there is no way to remember :/.)
