Oops, I was almost done but I accidentally hit submit.

Ex.
사과먹어요.
걸어요.
학교에 가요.

 

Subject:Object:Verb/Predicate

 

저 - I (humble)

사과 - apple

먹다 (먹어요) - to eat (eat[s])

너 - you (informal)

걷다 (걸어요) - to walk (walk[s])

학교 - school

가다 (가요) - to go (go[es])

은/는 - GRAMMAR POINT: topic marker (this is a type of particle pointing out the topic of a sentence)

을/를 - GRAMMAR POINT: object marker (this is a type of particle pointing out the object of a sentence)

에 - to (a place), at (a time)


저는 사과를 먹어요.

I eat an apple.
너는 걸어요.

You walk.
학교에 가요.

(I/You/He/She/It/We/You guys/They/Someone/Something) goes to school.


In the last sentence, since the subject is omitted, you would know who "goes to school" based on the context. For example, if I had been talking about what I'm doing today, instead of saying "I" in every sentence, I would just leave it out since you know who I'm talking about.

Korean Sentence Construction

아 진짜~ It's really challenging to learn a new language. I'm at the point where I have to build my own sentences.

Subject-Object-verb

This is just the basic. I'm hoping that I'll be able to master this language. 아자! 아자! 짱!

Correct :)

The basic English sentence structure is Subject-Verb(Predicate)-Object.

However, there sometimes is no object.

The subject is the one performing an action.

The verb is what is being done.

A predicate is "the part of a sentence or clause containing a verb and stating something about the subject".

The object is the thing receiving the action.

Ex.

I eat lunch.

You walk.

They went home.


Subject:Verb/Predicate:Object


This differs from Korean, whose sentence structure follows a Subject-Object-Verb(Predicate) pattern. Again, there is sometimes no object. At times, there is a subject and object but they are omitted in speech because the meaning is implied or assumed to be common knowledge.

Ex.

는 사과를 먹어요.

는 걸어요.

학교에 가요.
