LinguaA weekday, start to finish
With this unit a day can be told in order and in full: 저는 보통 일곱 시에 일어나요. 아침에 씻어요. 아침은 안 먹어요. 아홉 시부터 여섯 시까지 회사에서 일해요. 저녁에 친구하고 같이 밥을 먹어요. 열두 시에 자요. Every sentence puts the time first, then the place, then what happens; the negations sit right before the verb; the companion takes 하고 and 같이.
The small words that carry the meaning
Three pairs decided everything in this unit. 에 on a time against no particle on 오늘, 지금, 매일. 안 for a choice against 못 for an inability. 하고 in speech against 와/과 in writing, with the reversed vowel rule. Get these three pairs right and the rest of the sentence takes care of itself.
| Choice | One side | Other side |
|---|---|---|
| time particle | 일곱 시에 | 오늘 (no 에) |
| negation | 안 먹어요 | 못 먹어요 |
| and, with | 친구하고 | 친구와 / 동생과 |
| frequency | 자주 | 가끔 |
평일에는 아침을 못 먹어요On weekdays I cannot eat breakfast.
주말에 동생이랑 같이 영화를 봐요At the weekend I watch a movie with my younger sibling.
