🎓 Explanation

The particle を is used to mark the direct object of a sentence—the thing that is being acted upon.

Although written as 'wo', it is usually pronounced simply as "o" in modern Japanese.

The word order is typically Object + を + Verb. Remember that in Japanese, the verb always comes at the end of the sentence.

Hon wo yomimasu.
= 'I read a book.'

Terebi wo mimasu.
= 'I watch TV.'
