Korean can be easy to read because there are special markers that indicate what is the subject and object, and most of the time the verb is at the end of the sentence.

Most words in a Korean sentence have a particle attached to them. These particles indicate the role of each word in a sentence – that is, specifically which word is the subject or object.

-NEUN and -EUN

This is placed after a word to indicate that it is the subject of a sentence.

Use -neun when the last letter of the last syllable of the subject is a vowel.
For example: Na 나 - Naneun 나는
Jeo 저 - Jeoneun 저는

Use -eun when the last letter of the last syllable of the subject is a consonant.
For example: Jib 집 - Jibeun 집은
Chaek 책 - Chaekeun 책은

-REUL and -EUL

This is placed after a word to indicate that it is the object of a sentence.

Use -reul when the last letter of the last syllable is a vowel.
For example: Na 나 - Nareul 나를
                                                  Jeo 저 - Jeoreul 저를

Use -eul when the last letter of the last syllable is a consonant.
For example: Jib 집 - Jibeul 집을
                                                  Chaek 책 - Chaekeul 책을

Naneun neoreul saranghae 나는 너를 사랑해 - I love you
