Well, for your sentence, it would be something like 今日は、与助、お元気ですか。 (Konnichi wa, Yosuke, ogenki desu ka) It's more of an expression than anything else.

Well, anyway, the basic sentence structure is (subject)は(indirect object)に(direct object)を(verb). So, a sentence like "John threw Katie the ball" would be "JohnはKatieにthe ballをthrew". Or, using proper Japanese characters, "ジョーンはケーティに鞠を投げる。

Any other questions, just ask.
