Hi all. I just started taking Japanese about two weeks ago. Apart from memorizing vocabulary, I think I am getting along pretty well. There is one thing that I am thoroughly confused with though and that is the use of the particles "o" and "ga". Am I correct in understanding that they are both used to indicate the object of a verb? Does that mean I can use either one of them?

Example:

Eiga o mimasu. Can I also say "Eiga ga mimasu" ?

If this is wrong, when do I know to use "ga" then?

Any advice would be appreciated. :)
 
Eiga o mimasu. Can I also say "Eiga ga mimasu"
no, they are not interchangeable like that.

Do a search on the forum for "particles" and a ton of resources will come up.
 
Oh! I didn't know you can do a search here. Tried it. Thanks so much for the info. Very helpful indeed!
 
ichiban . narod . ru - for みんなの日本語 I - best solution, I think. Take a deep breath :)
And, who's these gaijins anyway?
