Guidelines for setting the words in right order:
1. Arrange the words into group of phrases and then arrange them into a sentence:
Example: been his in has years father working for company this three

First step: for three years, has been working, his father, in this company

Second step: His father has been working in this company for three years.

2. Know basic sentence patterns and arrange the words accordingly

Example: busy, work, he, at , was, his

Find the pattern: it is SVCA here (subject+verb+ complement + adjunct)

Arrange: He/was/busy/at his work.
Other common patterns:

SVO - He sent a mail.
SVC-  He was happy.
SVIODO- He gave her a pen.
SVOC - He made her the president of the association.
SVOA - He sent a mail last week.
SVCA - He was happy at home.

3. Know the common structure
Most of the sentences have the common structure : subject + verb + place + time (with or without object/complement next to verb)
Example: He went to his native place yesterday.
I will take you my home next week.

4. Know structures with dummy subject (it, there) and let
Example :
Structure: There + aux.verb+ place( + time)
There were/are ten students in the class.
Structure: let + object+ infinitive without to (+ time)
Let me deal with that.
Let him go now.

5. Know the placement of adverb, especially adverb of frequency:

Most of the students commit mistakes in placing the adverbs. Most adverbs come at the end of a sentence but adverbs of frequency (always, never, often, rarely, almost, seldom) comes before main verb or after axillary verb:

He always/often came late.
He is always late.
He has often visited that place.
I have never been called by anyone in the company.
