I learned that the sentence structure for Korean is Subject Obeject Verb
but I'm still confused about prepositions, adjectives and other nouns.

Can someone give me a few different sentence examples with all those things? And is there ever a sentence without the SOV structure?

This isn't a translation question it's a grammar question.

한국말은 주어-목적어-동사(SOV) 순서가 일반적이지만 주어가 자주 생략되어집니다. 그리고 나머지 보조적인 용어는 그 순서를 정확히 지키지 않아도 되는 경우가 많습니다.

일상적인 대화에서 "어디를 가세요?" "학교를 가요" 라는 식으로 주어를 유추가능한 대부분의 경우 주어가 생략되며, 를(을)과 같은 조사도 자주 생략됩니다. (어디가요? - 학교가요)

구체적으로 문장의 예를 제시하는 부분은 직접 일기를 써가며 배우는 것이 낫지 않을까 생각됩니다 ^^

Here's "arrive" is one Vi...

* I arrived.
나는(I) 도착했다(arrived).
* I arrived on last Monday.
나는(I) 지난(last) 월요일에(on Monday) 도착했다(arrived).
* I arrived at LA on last Monday.
나는(I) LA에(at LA) 지난(last) 월요일에(on Monday) 도착했다(arrived).

And this is one Vt.

I like girls.
나는(I) 소녀들을(girls) 좋아한다(like).
I like pretty girls.
나는(I) 귀여운(pretty) 소녀들을(girls) 좋아한다(like).
I like pretty girls by my side.
나는(I) 내 옆에 있는(by my side) 귀여운(pretty) 소녀들을(girls) 좋아한다(like).

You should find the simple principles in these sentences.

Basically S V O is English grammar structure, but both Korean and Japanese have S O V structure. Without SOV, the same thing with English's is.. only S V strcture, I think.
