Would either of these sentences be correct in Japanese? 私は今日本語を勉強する!私は今日本語が勉強する! Would either of these sentences be correct in Japanese? 私は今日本語を勉強する!私は今日本語が勉強する!I am studying Japanese right now.In English we also might say I am doing Japanese study right now, so this is why I chose the verb する

I am ~ing right now. 私は今~している。 It describes continuing action.(present) 今テレビを見ている。 今ごはんを食べている。 今日本語を勉強している。 When you want to say “I (will) study from now and I (will) study today.” “ Then you can say” 私は今から勉強する。and 私は今日勉強する。” So する is used for the future in this case. And usually verb “勉強する” takes particle を with an object, like 日本語を勉強する 歴史(れきし)を勉強する デザインを勉強する So I think “I am studying Japanese right now.”= 私は今日本語を勉強している。is correct.

私は今日本語を勉強する is correct. を is a particle which signify an object. ex. パンを 食べる = eat a bread が is a particle which mainly signify a subject. ex. 私が 食べる = I eat ( but sometimes, が become an object particle... its a bit difficult.. -.- ) In addition, "私は今日本語を勉強する" = "I study Japanese right now". If you want to say "be studying", "私は今 日本語を勉強している" is better, I think. する = do している = be doing

私は今日本語を勉強する = I will study Japanese now. 私は今日本語が勉強する = I now Japanese will study ("が" makes its adjacent (?) word (in this sentence, 日本語) a subject). 1. I am studying Japanese right now = 私は今日本語を勉強している (or しています, this is more polite/formal) 2. I am doing Japanese study right now = 私は今日本語の勉強をしている (or しています) These two sentences are both present progressive forms and have the word する, but its (する's) function is (slightly) different in 1 and 2. 1. 勉強する (to study) = 勉強している/しています (be studying) 2. する (to do) = している/しています (be doing) In the second sentence, する alone works as a verb (to do), and "Japanese study" is a noun. I'm sorry if I made it too confusing.. but I hope I didn't make too many mistakes in English and you understood what I was trying to say/explain. =)
