Korean sentence structure?
I don't understand it. I've been told that it's subject, object, verb, noun, adjective. Is that correct? If not, then what is it? Please... I need help with this.

Basically, the word order can be "subject + object + predicate" in Korean.
Predicates can be nouns with the copula verb,"- (이)다", verbs or adjectives.
When adjectives are used as predicates, they exactly act like verbs.
For example,
////1.Subject + Object + Predicate(verb)////
①I ④ate an ②red ③apple.
① = 나
② = 빨간(the dictionary form is "빨갛다", to be red)
③ = 사과
④ = 먹었다(the past form of "먹다(to eat)"
Every noun can be a subject or object with proper markers like subject markers or object markers.
① = 나 can be a subject with the subject markers like 은/는/이/가
Making it a subject with the subject marker, it will be "나는"
Likewise, making ③ = 사과 an object, it needs the object markers, 을/를
사과+를
To sum up,
나+는 빨간 사과+를 먹었다.
////2.Subejct + Predicate(noun or adjective), without Object////
①The apple ②is red. (predicate ☞ adjective)
① = 그 사과
② = 빨갛다(to be red)
①+② = 그 사과는 빨갛다.
①This ③is ②an apple.(predicate ☞ noun)
① = 이것
② = 사과(noun)
③ = (이)다(copula verb, acts like "BE-verb")
①+②+③ = 이것은 사과다.

Not exactly. Verb need to be the last place of sentence. So shuld be S+O+V not like S+V+O in English. Adjective always be ahead of Noun.
