기본 문장 구조 — Basic Sentence Structure

Korean uses SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) word order — the verb always comes last. This is the most fundamental difference from English (SVO).

Key rules:

• The verb is always last — this is the one non-negotiable rule
• Other elements (subject, object, time, place) can be rearranged relatively freely
• Subjects and objects are often dropped when clear from context: 밥 먹어요 = "(I) eat rice"
• Particles (조사) attach to nouns to show their grammatical role, so word order is flexible

Basic patterns:

Tip: Think of Korean sentences as building blocks that stack before the verb. The verb is like a period — it ends everything.
