Hi, there are following examples that when you use "wa" and "ga" and "o" in a conversation.
"This book is interesting." 「この 本 は おもしろい。（kono hon wa omoshiroi.）」
"That apple was rotten." 「あの リンゴ は くさって いたよ。（ano ringo wa kusatte itayo.）」
"The book is burning." 「本 が もえて います。（hon ga moete imasu.）」
"The baby is crying." 「あかちゃん が ないて います。（akachan ga naite imasu.）」
"Put your books away." 「本 を かたづけ なさい。（hon o kataduke nasai.）」
"He broke his promise." 「かれ は やくそく を やぶった。（kare wa yakusoku o yabutta.）」
Good luck!

は is commonly used to make something as topic, while が is used mainly to describe an object. :)
