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

[1.18.18] I recently found myself hitting a wall with my Korean studies, so I'm going back to refresh on the basics using a different textbook (My Korean 1) to spice things up! I'm also using this to keep myself busy while I wait to hear from graduate schools....

may 2018 be a warm, softly glowing year that’s overflowing with healing, growth, self love, pure bliss and a “darling, it’s going to be okay” vibe.

Reblog this if its okay for your followers to introduce themselves to you.

Just come to my ask box and tell me stuff about yourself. Your pets. Your favorite music. What you had for breakfast this morning. Literally anything you want, I love making new friends

wake up at a decent time

1. waking up at a set time each day will allow you to accomplish more throughout your day! since it’s summer, I usually wake up around 8-9:30 but it all depends on your schedule for the day! just try you best to not wake up too late, because you’ll just waste what could’ve been a productive day :)

make a bucket list

2. bucketlists are so much fun to make especially for the summer time! some ideas for your bucketlist could be…

• going to the beach, parties, on vacation

• write a novel, pick up/finish a series

• start a new Netflix series/movie marathon

• find some new hobbies

you can add some more ideas here, but making bucketlists allows you to have something to look forward to. :P

create a plan

3. if you’re summers are usually jam-packed with activities and vacations, try and schedule your studying in your day. Setting aside one to two hours a day or even a week can benefit you a lot. 

• Personally, I think it’s best to try and space out your studying so you aren’t doing everything at once. Summer is still time to relax from school so make sure you don’t overdo it with the studying. Since I’m taking AP classes for the first time next school year, I decided to buy the AP prep books now, so I can occasionally read throughout the summer.

**most importantly

don’t get caught up in the “studyblr style” of thinking you have to study 24/7 and only post aesthetically pleasing pictures. Summer is you’re time to relax and de-stress from the previous 10 months of work you just had to endure. Please make sure to take time for yourself because that is what is most important! 

I hope some of you benefited from this!! and I hope everyone has a great summer
