Correct sentence structure

Am I right in thinking that without exception all correctly formed Türkçe sentences must end with either a verb or an interrogative particle associated with the verb?

What you have said is correct for regular turkish sentences. Turkish seems to distract itself with details first and later comes to the main point, namely verb. However to end with a verb isn't always necessary for a sentence to be correct.
Cyrano, Aslan'ı kırbaçladı. = Cyrano whipped Aslan.
Cyrano kırbaçladı Aslan'ı. = Cyrano whipped Aslan.
Kırbaçladı Aslan'ı Cyrano. = Cyrano whipped Aslan.
All are correct.

All are correct. |
Is that wishful thinking  
Does the sentence structure only work if the verb relates to somthing happening from one object to another object?
Would the following be correct???
Bugün çalışmak lazım - today it is necessary to work
Bugün lazım çalışmak
Çalışmak lazım bugün

Bod, all the sentences above are not only correct grammatically, but also true, fact in reality!
And, yes, yours are also correct, though the second one is too weak in meaning; but still it is meaningful.

"bugün lazım çalışmak" is too strange! I am not sure, let's ask to erdinç

I'd bet my head that the correct version is "Bugün çalışmam lazım. Is the -mak/-mek also possible with lazım? :-S

Yes - the full infinitive (-mek/-mak) is used with lazım.
This is why I picked this particular example

You said very important point:
Bugün çalışmak lazım
This is necessary for everyone
Bugün çalışmam lazım
This is a necessity just for me!
