Goal: Build clear sentences in the order Subject → Verb → Object → Place → Time.
English word order is fixed: Subject + Verb + Object + Place + Time. “I (S) eat (V) rice (O) at home (P) every day (T).” Malayalam puts the verb at the end; English puts it right after the subject. Keep sentences short: one idea, one verb. Start with a capital letter, end with a full stop.
