Japanese and English sentence structures are very different. Japanese is a topic-comment language, whereas English is a subject-predicate language. You must be aware of at least the following five features of Japanese: 1. A subject is not essential in a sentence. 2. You must find implied subjects. 3. Topic dominates sentences. 4. There are three types of sentences. 5. There are predicates which are used only when the subject is “I”. |
