を + verbs · eat, drink, watch

を marks the object — and the verb goes last

を (said "o") marks the thing you act on. In Japanese the verb always comes LAST: パン を たべます = (I) eat bread. ます is the polite verb ending, and you can leave out わたし は when it's obvious.

  • パン を たべますpan o tabemasuI eat bread.
