7차_10/18_Class Recap

Today, we covered ch.6 and ch. 7.

Ch. 6 was a review chapter  of ch. 4, 5, so we could do speaking practice with the words related to cleaning.

In the grammar part:

Adding the endings -아 or -어 to a verb gives it the meaning of a command or a request in casual, informal tone. 

ㅗ, ㅏ : ~아    / 나머지 : ~어

예외 : ㄷstems. 걷다+어 = 걸어 (walk), 굽다+어 = 구워(roast)

오다+아 : 와

가다+아 : 가

주다+어 : 줘

키다+어 : 켜 (turn on)

서다+어 : 서

쓰다+어 : 써

재다+어: 재 (measure)

In Chapter 7, we learned vocabulary related to playing musical instruments and talked about what you can and cannot do in music or sports.

The Korean ending ‘-지요?’ is used to ask for confirmation, seek agreement, or make a statement in a polite and soft way. It’s often used when the speaker believes the listener shares the same knowledge or opinion and just wants to confirm it.In English grammar, ‘-지요?’ functions similarly to tag questions like: “isn’t it", “right?”, “don’t you think?”

These are used at the end of statements to turn them into soft, confirming questions.

Next week, we will learn vocabulary useful for expressing our thoughts after watching a performance. So please think about any performance or concerts you have seen before and can share. 

See you next week!
