I'd say "Alle Verben sind am Ende? Das muss nicht sein". Well, it's not that simple.

In your second example, you should have highlighted muss, which is the inflected verb here, which is always in the second position in an in a declarative sentence (as opposed to a question or a relative clause or whatever).

Same as in English: "All verbs are at the end? That doesn't have to be".

Auf Verben verenden muss nicht sein. Oder muss man nicht.
