    안녕하세요

    ‘겠’라고 자주 들었지만 I don’t 겠 it at all, 하하.

  2. Is this the same “겠” as used in “맛있겠다”?? (Looks delicious!!!)

      Your 2nd example is correct, except that u shld mean ‘테스트(test)’ instead – right?

      for your 1st example,
      is a little errotic:

      1. 내일 가 겠습니다.

      and not ‘갈’.

      because ‘갈’ itself is already contains a to-do meaning (any verb with an ending ‘-ㄹ’)

      So you should not repeat it, since you already expressed ur intention with ‘-겠습니다’.

    I am very happy to see this lesson! Thanks for making this lesson for us. This suffix has so many uses that it can be really confusing to Korean language learners like myself.

    Do you think you could do a lesson on the verb 되다? That verb has so many meanings and uses that I find myself not entirely sure when to use it.

    Thanks again.
