1. What is the Japanese Vocabulary in order to apply the sentence structure given?
SOV it means “subject-object-verb.” This is a language where the verb is at the end of
the sentence. This means that the verb follows the subject, like in English. The verb is
like the link between the subject and the other parts of the sentence. For example;
“Jimbo” is the subject, “eats” is the verb and “an apple” is the object. This sentence
follows the SVO formula.

2. Why are particles important in the Japanese Language?

Japanese has many particles, and these particles provide a variety of different functions.
They are absolutely important to Japanese sentences. Particles tell you what something is,
where it goes, what it does, how it does it, why it does it, etc. They are little "word-
things" that attach themselves to words or phrases. They are used to describe the
relationship between one word or phrase to another.
