Grammar Guide

Japanese sentence structure is visual and logical: particles attach to words to declare their roles, while the verb stays anchored at the end.

Sentence Anatomy · SOV & Particles

うし牛はcow · topic (wa)
くさ草をgrass · object (o)
たべる食べるeats · verb stays last

Particles govern roles, not position: Preceding elements can shift freely. Tap swap above to see it in action!

牛は草を食べる·はを
Hana· Key point
Japanese particles never change shape or conjugate — once you know key markers like は, を and が, real sentences start to make sense.
