Can someone tell me please the difference between 'onyomi' and 'kunyomi' with Kanji? And what are the grammar rules? When do you use which? (Sorry if I have bad grammar)

    Onyomi: Reading taken from China
    Kunyomi: Reading developed by Japan
    Kanji + Kana Kunyomi Reading
    Kanji + Kanji Onyomi Reading
    Kanji alone Kunyomi.

    Not sure, so if anybode has corrections, please.

    basically what our friend above me said. Kunyomi is the way you read a kanji when it is by itself, like 正しい is read ただしい or 人 is ひと.
    When the kanjis appears in words composed with more than one kanji, it generally is used the onyomi reading, be careful that it`s not always the case.
    Like 正直 = しょうじき and 人間 = にんげん.
    Hope it wasn`t too confusing.
