A lot of people have trouble with really telling the difference between the particles wa and ga. They are particularly tricky, so I thought I'd share one of the ways to tell them apart.

The difference?

"Watashi GA Koichi desu" would be used in the J-dorama where your evil twin shows up and convinces everybody you know that he's you, and in the moment of truth when your girlfriend is holding the gun toward the two of you standing next to each other, you scream "WATASHI /GA/ KOICHI DESU!!!"

I tend to say this a lot, but I love you. Both particles are clearer to me now.

Ohhhh, so it's like someone asks, "who are you", i would say "watashi wa Sammy desu" someone asks "who is Sammy" i would say "watashi ga desu", correct?
