Subject, Time/Place, Verb Object 廣東話 I've purely been building a vocabulary of Cantonese for a year now, but I now need to focus on sentence structure. Based on the equation above, I’m going to try a few here: "I need to go to the store." 我市場要喺。 “Your car is in the garage.” 我嘅車車房入面。 (Does this seem right? Grammarly, this sentence structure is very new to me.) 有冇錯?! "We are going to Hong Kong tomorrow." 我哋聽日香港會去。 “I am learning sentence structure today” 我今日學緊造句。 你講啱唔啱?Do they sound more Like a native Cantonese speaker?
