    ________________________________________

    Grammar Notes

    Letโ€™s talk about two important grammar points from this unit.

    1. (Time, Date)์—

    The particle ์— is used to indicate specific times and dates, similar to "on" or "at" in English.

    Examples:

    ์›”์š”์ผ์— ๋งŒ๋‚˜์š”. โ€“ Letโ€™s meet on Monday.

    ์ƒ์ผ์— ํŒŒํ‹ฐํ•ด์š”. โ€“ We have a party on my birthday.

    2. -์ด/๊ฐ€ ์•„๋‹ˆ์—์š”

    This structure is used to say something is not in Korean. The subject marker ์ด/๊ฐ€ pairs with ์•„๋‹ˆ์—์š”, which means "is not."

    Examples:

    ์˜ค๋Š˜์ด ์›”์š”์ผ์ด ์•„๋‹ˆ์—์š”. โ€“ Today is not Monday.

    ์ €๋Š” ํ•™์ƒ์ด ์•„๋‹ˆ์—์š”. โ€“ Iโ€™m not a student.

    These two patterns are very common, so try to use them in your daily conversations.

    Grammar Notes

    To help you construct sentences confidently, letโ€™s break down two key grammar points:

    1. -์•„/์–ด์š” Grammar

    This is a polite sentence ending used to describe actions in the present tense. It attaches to the verb stem. For example:

    โ€ข ๊ณต๋ถ€ํ•˜๋‹ค (to study) โ†’ ๊ณต๋ถ€ํ•ด์š” (Iโ€™m studying).

    โ€ข ๋จน๋‹ค (to eat) โ†’ ๋จน์–ด์š” (Iโ€™m eating).

    2. ์„/๋ฅผ Grammar

    These are object markers. Use ์„ after a consonant and ๋ฅผ after a vowel to indicate the object of a sentence. For example:

    โ€ข ์ฑ…์„ ์ฝ๋‹ค โ†’ "to read a book."

    โ€ข ์ปคํ”ผ๋ฅผ ๋งˆ์‹œ๋‹ค โ†’ "to drink coffee."

    These grammar structures are essential for daily conversations in Korean, so practice them as much as you can.

    Quiz Time

    Now, letโ€™s test your knowledge! Try translating these sentences into Korean. Iโ€™ll pause after each question to give you time to think.

    Grammar Notes

    To help you construct sentences confidently, letโ€™s break down two key grammar points from this lesson.

    1. -์ด/๊ฐ€ Grammar

    This is a subject marker used to indicate the subject of a sentence. For example:

    โ€ข ์ฑ…์ƒ์ด ์žˆ์–ด์š”. โ€“ "There is a desk." Here, ์ฑ…์ƒ (desk) is the subject of the sentence.

    2. -์— ์žˆ๋‹ค Grammar

    This structure is used to express the existence or location of something. It combines a location with -์— (location particle) and ์žˆ๋‹ค (to exist). For example:

    โ€ข ๋ถ€์—Œ์— ์‹ํƒ์ด ์žˆ์–ด์š”. โ€“ "There is a dining table in the kitchen."

    These grammar points are essential for describing locations and the existence of objects or places in Korean. For a deeper dive into these structures, check out the resources available at KoreanTopik.com.

    Practicing these phrases will help you engage in basic conversations about yourself and others. Simple introductions like these can open the door to deeper conversations as you continue learning Korean.

    Grammar Notes

    Here are some quick tips on grammar to help you construct sentences confidently:

    Sentence Structure: Korean follows a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) sentence structure.

    For example, "์ €๋Š” ํ•™์ƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค" (I am a student) follows this pattern.

    Use of "์€/๋Š”" and "์ด/๊ฐ€": "์€/๋Š”" is a topic marker, while "์ด/๊ฐ€" is a subject marker. In "์ €๋Š”" (I), the "๋Š”" marks the topic, meaning the sentence is about you.

    For more details, check out the grammar guide on KoreanTopik.com, where youโ€™ll find in-depth explanations for these markers and more!

    Quiz Time!

    Now, letโ€™s test your knowledge. Try translating these into Korean:

    "Teacher"

    "I am from the USA."

    "What is your job?"
