The basic sentence form is S+O+V (Subject+Object+Verb)

ex) I eat a meal => 나는 밥을 먹습니다.
I(S) eat(V) a meal(O) => 나는(S) 밥을(O) 먹습니다(V)

A suffix(은/는) is attached to a subject
나(I) + 는 => 나 becomes a subject

A suffix(을/를) is attached to an object
밥(a meal) + 을 => 밥 becomes an object

A suffix(습니다) is attached to an verb
먹(eat) + 습니다 => 먹습니다 is a predicate

There are more variations in verb conjugation. You should learn all suffixes and variations in verbs.

Subject and object can be put anywhere as long as the subject and object marker are clearly stated like "chopin" mention. But make sure the end of the sentence must be verb.

I just apply whatever I learn in the class. I very sorry about it, if there is any mistake. Mianneyo.
