If you don't understand these 2 sentences, you'll never understand Japanese because these are the ONLY two types of sentences in Japanese. By breaking down Japanese grammar structure into the 3 Engine Structure as proposed by Cure Dolly Sensei, we can understand EVERY Japanese sentence as one of these two sentences.

The 3 Engine Structure of Japanese proposes that there are only 2 types of sentences in Japanese. An "A does B" sentence, or an "A is B" sentence.

It is called the 3 Engine structure as all sentences can only end in one of three ways:
- う stem ending sentences are verb sentences. Meaning they are always "A does B"
- だ ending sentences are noun+copula sentences. Meaning they are always "A is B"
- い ending sentences are always i-adjectives. Meaning they are always "A is B"

Understanding that Japanese can only have 2 types of sentences and knowing how to see each sentence as one of the three engines, allows you to understand ANY Japanese sentence by breaking them down to their core.
