Difference between 은/는 – 이/가

  • 은/는 – 이/가 is used to work SUBJECT.
  • 을/를 is worked OBJECT.

What is subject and what is object:

Andy ate oranges.
In this, Andy is the subject, ate is the verb, oranges is the object.

In Korean:
앤디가 오렌지를 먹었어요.

But what is the difference??
은/는 and when 가/이 -Emphasisze the noun before (가/이) or before, or emphasize the verb after (를/을)
