Most words in a Korean sentence have a particle attached to them. These particles indicate the role of each word in a sentence — that is, specifically which word is the subject or object. Note that there is absolutely no way of translating these particles to English, as we do not use anything like them.
는 or 은 (Subject)
This is placed after a word to indicate that it is the subject of a sentence. Use 는 when the last letter of the last syllable of the subject is a vowel.
나는
저는
Use 은 when the last letter of the last syllable of the subject is a consonant.
집은
책은
를 or 을 (Object)
This is placed after a word to indicate that is the object of a sentence. Use 를 when the last letter of the last syllable is a vowel.
나를
저를
Use 을 when the last letter of the last syllable is a consonant.
잡을
책을
