Who will go to Bali?

Similar to English, in Indonesian (known as Bahasa Indonesia), the simplest sentence consists of a subject and a predicate. The main difference is in Bahasa Indonesia the predicate must not be a verb. So there is no "to be" inside. Please consider the following examples:

Saya belajar.
I study.

Subject: Saya (I)
Predicate [verb]: belajar (study)

Dia lapar.
He (or She) is hungry.

Subject: Dia (He or She)
Predicate [adjective]: lapar (hungry)

Mereka di Bali.
They are in Bali.

Subject: Mereka (They)
Predicate [adverb of place]: di Bali (in Bali)

This is very simple, isn't it? If you want to add an object in a sentence, place it after predicate. Here’s the examples:

Saya mencintai kamu.
I love you.

Subject: Saya (I)
Predicate: mencintai (love)
Object: kamu (you)

Dia menulis surat.
He (or She) writes a letter.

Subject: Dia (He or She)
Predicate: menulis (writes)
Object: surat (a letter)

John membaca buku.
John reads a book.

Subject: John
Predicate: membaca (reads)
Object: buku (a book)
