Japanese Sentence Structure: Subject + Object + Verb (SOV)

 How to arrange sentence in Japanese when communicate to people like in english we used (subject + verb + object)?

Japanese Sentence Structure: Subject + Object + Verb (SOV)
Unlike English, Japanese sentences follow a Subject + Object + Verb order.

Let's break it down with an example:

English: I eat an apple.
Japanese: 私はリンゴを食べます。 (Watashi wa ringo o tabemasu.)
Here's how it breaks down:

私 (watashi): I (subject)
は (wa): particle that marks the subject
リンゴ (ringo): apple (object)
を (o): particle that marks the object
食べます (tabemasu): eat (verb)
Key points to remember:
Particles: Japanese uses particles to indicate the role of words in a sentence. They are essential for understanding the meaning.
Verb at the end: The verb always comes at the end of the sentence.
