Karen - Andrews wife's notebook entry: Jul 20, 2010 I am curious about the structure of the Korean sentence as it appears to be quite different from English. I will start by giving an English example......In English, the sentence always starts with a subject (the main noun that has something happen to it), and has at least one verb. For example: "The ball rolled." The is a little simplistic but the sentence can be made more interesting by adding adjectives before the noun, and adjective phrases and clauses after it. You can also add adverbs either before or after the verb, and adverb phrases and clauses as well. For example: "The small, red ball from Andy's toy box, rolled gently down the embankment." My questions are, "How would the sentence arranged in Korean?" and "Is there rules governing the order of word types etc." If you can help me, please answer in English as my Korean is still only basic.

Karen - Andrews wife's notebook entry: Jul 18, 2010 I'm Andrew's wife. We are both studying Korean with a friend who is teaching us, while we conversely help her with English. Andrew has studied a little more than I, having started with a few of the Korean alphabet characters followed by a few words. I have waited until I had someone teach us the correct pronunciation of each character. I'm still learning words and hope to progress to short sentences in the near future. I am curious about the Korean Grammatical structure as it appears to be quite different to English. Starting with very simple examples, can anyone give me some clues?
