Verb at the end
Explanation
Korean typically places the verb last: 저는 사과를 먹어요.
Time and place often come before the object: 어제 카페에서 커피를 마셨어요.
Particles mark roles, so order can flex for emphasis — but beginners should master verb-final first.
English speakers “finish early” with the object; push the predicate to the end every drill.
This page focuses on “Verb at the end.” Read for meaning first, then re-read looking only at formality and particle choice — those two details decide whether you sound natural.
After the explanation, study the worked examples and the common mistakes. Then take the one-question check so you know you did not only skim.
