Constructing a Sentence in Romaji (Part 1)

A simple sentence mainly consists of :

1. Subject
2. Predicate

Example:

I am reading a book.

Subject: I
Predicate: am reading a book

In Romaji:

I = Watakushi / Watashi
Read = Yomu
Book = Hon
Is, Are, Am = desu
Was, Were = deshita
*Wa usually follows the subject of sentence

Watashi wa hon o yonde imasu.

*this example may be quite advanced for beginners but this example will example will give an overview on what you need to learn next.
Take note on how hon (book) is used as a direct object and on how the verb yomu (read) is changed into yonde (reading)

Another example:

This is a book.

This = Kore
That = Sore
That over there = Are

Kore wa hon desu.

That's all for now. I hope you learned something and try to translate these sentences into Romaji:

That is a book.
That over there is a book.
This is a cat. (Cat = Neko)
That is a dog. (Dog = Inu)
