The Difference Between wa and ga

I tell you some examples of wa and ga. Here's a link to some more differences, but the Japanese is kinda advanced. http://www.mlcjapanese.co.jp/DownloadF/Kyouzai/ChuuJouWaToGa(Kanji).pdf

when u said tht stuff about many subjects in a sentence, should I say something like "猫はと犬が食べる" to say "the cat and the dog eat"??? I'm sorry but i'm tryin' to learn japanese but I can't get many of these grammar stuff :S

@giampyonni If you mention two main subjects... then you can say 猫と犬は（が）食べる。 It'll be が if you haven't made any mention of the animals before in your previous conversation. If you've been talking about the two animals before hand then you can use は.

@daiquirikiss I should mention that the two main subjects are doing the same thing... that's why they don't get their own subject marker. They share it. In my more complex sentence example, "Lisa saw the cat eat the bird." Lisa has her own verb. The cat has it's own verb. The bird is being used... not a main subject, so it gets を. That's why they get their own subject markers.

was it hard to learn all the symbols?and to know when to use them in your writing.

@hartstaken22 it is challenging, but the more you use them and read them, the more you get it. It just takes practice and dedication.

yeah i've found that it's harder for native speakers to teach their language than it is for non-native speakers to teach it. it's ironic, but i guess it makes sense, b/c the native-speakers have a hard time explaining something they came to understand thru growing up in a culture. it's like they're are the logical reasons for word choice, and then there are the not-so-easy-to-get word choices that you just know simply b/c you're used to it. that's how english is in many cases.
