BASIC KOREAN SENTENCE STRUCTURE

BASIC KOREAN SENTENCE STRUCTURE

♡ in korean, it is important to use the correct sentence structure, or your sentences may seem really confusing :

-> in english : Subject Verb Object -> in korean : Subject Object Verb

now, let’s look at some examples!

we are gonna use this simple sentence : “i bought a book”, in korean it would be : “i a book bought”

저는 책을 샀어요 책 = book 샀어요(past tense) from the verb 사다 = to buy it’s really different, right?

⚠ the object ALWAYS comes BEFORE the verb, and the verb is ALWAYS at the END of the sentence. ⚠

♡ locations are also used BEFORE verbs :

“저는 학교에 가요” i go to school 학교 = school 에= location particle (to) 가요 (present tense) from the verb 가다 = to go

“저는 학교에서 공부해요” i study at school 학교 = school 에서 = location particle (at) 공부해요 (present tense) from the verb 공부하다 = to study

“저는 집에 잤어요” i slept at home 집 = home 에 = location particle (at) 잤어요 (past tense) from the verb 자다 = to sleep

⚠ you can put the time before or after the subject though :

both of these sentences mean “today I will eat at home” :

before -> 오늘 저는 집에서 먹을 거예요 after -> 저는 오늘 집에서 먹을 거예요 오늘 = today 집 = home 에서 = location particle (at) 먹을 거예요 (future tense) from the verb 먹다 = to verb

“tomorrow, i will study at school” before -> 내일 저는 학교에서 공부할 거예요 after -> 저는 내일 학교에서 공부할 거예요 내일 = tomorrow 학교 = school 에서 = location particle (at) 공부하다 = to study ~ㄹ 거예요 (future tense)

♡ adverbs are added before verbs : 저는 열심히 공부해요 I study hard 열심히 = hard

and finally, adjectives work the same way as they do in english! just put them before the noun they describe :

매운 라면 = spicy ramen 매운 = spicy 라면 = ramen

예쁜 여자 = beautiful woman 예쁜 = beautiful 여자 =  woman

When you start a new goal/activity/program, make a list of reasons why you’re doing it. Make sure it is filled with:

-Reasons why you chose to start this path of action.

-Positive thoughts.

-Personal goals.

-How it can benefit you.

-Where you hope the activity will lead you in life.

-Happy memories surrounding the activity/program.

Open the list and read through it whenever you feel like giving up. It works.

I used this when I marched drum corps because the demanding schedule was exhausting both physically and mentally. When I wanted to quit I opened to the page and reminded myself why I was there, and it always helped me feel better.

Quick tips for writers who are still in the educational system: turn class material into small stories in order to understand it in a way that utilises your strengths. Struggling with putting history into context? Re-tell the story of historical figures in a modern setting. Struggling with understanding how different math equations work? Make characters based on the numbers and symbols write a story that showcases how they interact in a math problem. Not only will this increase your understanding, but it will provide the excuse and opportunity to practice writing and expand your creative mind as well, making it easier for you to think outside the box and take inspiration from what’s around you. There are so many ways in which creative writing can blend with education and course material and there are so many ways you can increase your comprehension of the content by using the possibilities to your advantage. Get creative with your education, people. You have it in you.

Graduation and Graduate School Update

Hello again friends! I am not the best at posting original content regularly, but I am extremely excited to tell you about my recent graduation and upcoming plans for graduate school!

Graduation: I graduated with my Bachelor of the Arts last month from Georgian Court University. The last two months have been a whirlwind of events ceremonies, and I feel like I’ve made my mark on the University in these past two years. I was blessed to receive the Peer Mentor Award of Excellence, an academic honorable mention for Psychology, and one of ten nominations among the Senior Class for Kappa Gamma Pi. I ended up graduating Summa Cum Laude and I am ready to move on to Grad School.

Grad School: I will officially be attending Montclair State University in the Fall! I am going for my M.A. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology with a culminating thesis. On top of this, I also will be starting a Graduate Assistantship at the Center for Writing Excellence. I absolutely love academic, creative, and professional writing; the fact that I got this assistantship is an absolute dream come true. 

I plan on posting and giving study tips as I utilize them in the future, and I hope to be more active on this studyblr soon!
