3. First Sentences
English is a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) language
sentences are made with the subject first, then the verb, and finally the object.
- I am a teacher මම ගුරුවරයෙක්මි
- She is happy ඇය සතුටිනි
- They are students ඔවුන් සිසුන් ය.
French and Chinese are also SVO languages,
but Japanese and Persian are Subject-Object-Verb languages, so you wouldn't say "She is happy", you'd say "She happy is"!
She is happy : ඇය සතුටින් සිටී
