In Korean they put the verb in the last part of the

sentence. For example, in English we say: I eat
watermelon, but in Korean they say: I watermelon eat.
So the subject is the first part, then adverb is ordered
by when (So if you use a date or time, it will be arranged
by the biggest, so year would be first then month, days
and time last), how, where.
