Korean sentence structure

Korean sentences are usually written in the following order :

subject - object - verb (I hamburger ate)
subject - adjective (I beautiful)

subject - the one who does the action
ex : the dog ran fast
object - whatever the verb is acting on
ex : the dog bit the mailman

In English, the object always comes after the verb or sometimes there is no object. But every korean sentence must end in either a verb or adjective.

-- Korean participles
in korean this participles indicate which word is the subject or object.

⭐는 or(subject)
it is placed after a word to indicate that is the subject of a sentence.

Use when the last letter of the last syllable of the subject is a vowel :
나 = 나는
저 = 저는

Use when the last letter of the last syllable of the subject is a consonant :
집 = 집은
책 = 책은

or(object)
this is placed after a word to indicate that is the object of a sentence.

Use when the last letter of the last syllable is a vowel :
나 = 나를
저 = 저를

Use when the last letter of the last syllable is a consonant :
집 = 집을
책 = 책을

Now you can put this into sentences like :
I speak Korean - I 는 korean 을 speak
는 - I
을 - korean
I like you - I 는 you 를 like
는 - I
를 - you

Also with sentences with adjectives (will not have an object)
my boyfriend is pretty - My boyfriend 은 is pretty
을 - boyfriend
the movie was scary - The movie 는 was scary
는 - the movie

⭐에 (place or time)
if we could translate this, the translation would be ➡ at ; to
I went at 3pm
I went to the park
I hate hamburgers at 3pm

⬇⬇⬇

I 3pm went
I park went
I hamburgers 3pm ate

Okay that is it for today...I hope you are enjoying it...any question just ask me!!I'll post later.....
사랑해요 ❤❤
