Introduction Understanding grammar rules transforms isolated word memorization into real sentence generation. In Telugu, sentences follow a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order, unlike English which uses Subject-Verb-Object (SVO). Furthermore, Telugu verbs end with suffixes that conjugate based on person, number, gender, and tense.
