Korean can be easy to read because there are special markers that indicate what is the subject and object, and most of the time the verb is at the end of the sentence. The subject markers are '' and '' (also '께서', but we'll cover it in honorific speech->Another lesson). Which one do you use and when? When the subject ends in a vowel, use '', and use '' when it ends in a consonant.

As for object markers, '' follows when the object ends with a consonant, and '' when it ends in a vowel.

진수 먹습니다.
Jinsoo eats rice.
(Jinsoo rice eats.)



미경 영화 봤습니다.
Mi Kyong watched a movie.
(Mi Kyong movie watched.)



Sometimes the subject markers change from '' to '' and '' to ''. This is done to contrast something or simply present a topic. Sometimes '' and '' are used for emphasis in any part of the sentence, so they will not always indicate the subject.

아침에 일찍 일어납니다.
I get up early in the morning.
(I in the morning early get up.)
