Basic Japanese Sentence Structures X は Y です Learning how to make a sentence in Japanese is not very complicated. All sentences follow the basic Japanese sentence structure X は Y です (X wa Y desu). X is the subject, and Y is the object. は (wa) is one of the particles that is used in Japanese, which connects X to Y. です (desu) is an important word in Japanese, meaning “it is.” です is used at the end of a sentence when another verb is not used, such as in the sentence わたし は がくせい です (watashi wa gakusei desu), which means “I am a student.” わたし (watashi) is the word for “I” in Japanese; however, it is assumed that I is the subject. Therefore, the sentence がくせい です (gakusei desu) also reads as “I am a student,” since no other subject is mentioned. While it may seem confusing at first, omitting “I” and “you” will become second nature when speaking and writing Japanese. Let's go over some other sentences that use the basic X は Y です (X wa Y desu) sentence structure: まこと は にほんじん です (makoto wa nihonjin desu): Makoto is Japanese せんもん は かがく です (senmon wa kagaku desu): (My) major is science Notice in the second sentence that わたし (watashi) is not used in the sentence, but it is assumed that the sentence is about the speaker. If we want to talk about another person's major, we use another Japanese particle: の (no). Noun 1 の Noun 2 The particle の (no) is used to connect two nouns. Let's use の (no) in some sentences: まこと の でんわ ばんごう (makoto no denwa bangou): Makoto's phone number だいがく の せんせい (daigaku no sensei): a college professor えいご の がくせい (eigo no gakusei): a student of the English language にほん の だいがく (nihon no daigaku): a college in Japan The rule of using の (no) is the second noun in the main idea, while the first noun modifies the second noun. Noun じゃありません To make a negative sentence in Japanese, the sentence structure X は Y です (X wa Y desu) can be used; however です (desu) is replaced by the word じゃありません (ja arimasen) if Y is a noun. For example: アンドル は にほんじん じゃありません (

do jyo~ It's Usually use... if some one say "do jyo~" the other answer "do mo~"

Just copy native speakers. When learning a language you don't have to learn how to form sentences, you just have to imitate the correct way of saying stuff. Anyway, the general sentence style is subject-object-verb instead of English's subject-verb-object. So, "I eat an apple" would be "I apple eat" in Japanese (there's no distinction between singular and plural, so context is very important). The subject is very often, almost always omitted when it's known by context. It's pretty hard to answer your question since I haven't got any idea of what you know already. Do you know hiragana and katakana? If not... you know where to start. If or when you do know them you could check http://eow.alc.co.jp/ ,search for something in English and see the translation in Japanese. It's a site aimed at native Japanese speakers so there are no kanji readings or anything, so you'll have to paste those into a web dictionary, like http://jisho.org/. The example sentences are very useful for phrases and sentences in general. When you've read some sentences you could try to "write" (or paste) Japanese sentences along with what you want to say in English at a site called http://lang-8.com/. It's a site where native speakers can correct your entries. Then, learn the native speakers' corrections of your sentences and you should really start learning how to form sentences. Then just copy, write, read and listen to whatever you like. Manga, books, TV, music, anime, websites... etc. Way more fun than reading grammar books. Just find something you like and dive into it.
