  1. Keirdre says:

    내일에 집은 이살 거예요. I will move house tomorrow. Is that right? 맞아요?

    감사합니다!

  2. Pyu says:

    나중에 친구같이 만날 거예요.

  3. Frenchy says:

    내일 저는 집에서 학교까지 갈 거예요

    Is that correct ?
    (I meant “Tomorrow, as for me, I will go from home to school”)

    And by the way, 감사합니다 for your great lessons !

    • Greg says:

      학교에.
      ~까지 is used to indicate distance, period, progress etc.. not direction.
      Direction is ~에 or ~로.
      You can say 학교까지 but… it’s like you’re talking about the distance you gonna walk, rather where you going.

  4. Shara says:

    I was wondering whether someone could help me with this sentence please. :)
    한국어 공불 거예요.
    It doesn’t feel quite right, but I can’t tell what’s wrong with it…

    감사합니다!!

    • Greg says:

      The wrong is that 공부 is a noun – “studies”, so you should use 공부하다 (to study) ► 공부할 거에요.

    • fee says:

      The verb ‘to study’ is 공부하다 –so I think the correct sentence would be: 한국어 공부할 겅예요.
      I am also a beginner here, so if I made any mistake please feel free to correct me. ^^

    • jinseokjin says:

      Hi fee,
      Let me correct your sentence.
      한국어 공부할 겅예요. > 한국어 공부할 거예요.

      Nice try! Good job!

  5. Odette says:

    Can you write it as 얼마 팔 거예요, without the 에? And if used, why isn’t it 에서 since 팔다 is an action taking place there?

  6. Claira says:

    annyeonghaseyo! i wanna ask, why is 에 used after 얼마?

    given example in pdf: 얼마에 팔 거예요?

    thank you! :)

    • jinseokjin says:

      Hi Claira,
      에 is a location marking particle, but it is not only used to mark locations.
      It means “at”, “to” and etc.
      Thanks for your comment.

    안녕하세요!
    This is my first comment!
    Special thanks to all of you great teachers.
    Learning Korean with you is really easy and fun!
    It’s about a month that I’m learning Korean from Iran.
    I just made my sample sentence. Is it correct and natural?
    ” 저는 나중에 한국에 갈 거 예요. ”

    감사합니다 (x1000) :D

    TTMIK teaches the -ㄹ 거예요 way to conjugate for future tense, but I’ve also seen -겠어요 (갈거예요 vs 가겠어요). I was wondering what the difference between the two ways is!

    *awkward I also posted this same comment but with my facebook… XD I didn’t see this til I scrolled way down…*

    • jinseokjin says:

      Hi Catt Kim,
      가겠어요 contains the nuance of will(or desire).

      Let’s imagine that a teacher was looking for a person who will go to an event, and there is a student who wants to participate in the event.

      Then he may say “제가 가겠어요”.

    내일 피자 먹을거예요. right?

  12. Huynh Yung says:

    안녕하세요!
    일(하나)주에 다낭 호이안 에 (베트남) 갈 거예요. 정말 좋아요. 맞아요?
    I mean that I’m going (“on vacation”, I haven’t known the words yet) to Da Nang and Hoi An in Vietnam next week. I really like it.
    감사합니다!

    • jinseokjin says:

      안녕하세요 Huynh Yung,

      일(하나)주에 > 다음 주에

      다음 주에 다낭 호이안에 갈 거예요.

      You did a good job!

      Thanks for your comment.

    Please help.
    1.제가 사과를 먹어요 사랑할 거예요.
    2.제가 사과를 먹 사랑할 거예요.

    Which one is correct.?
    I have finally completed level 1..But these particles are so confusing..:-(..It goes over my head mostly..

    I checked out a few videos on youtube channel as well…Hyunwoo ssi and seokjin ssi are my favourite…:-))..seokjin ssi is very funny and cute..:-). 현우 씨가 또 석진 씨가 너무 좋아해요..:-))))..

    • jinseokjin says:

      Hi Sonam,
      If you wanted to say that you love to eat apple, then it will be better to say “저는 사과 먹는 것을 좋아해요”.
      Thanks for your comment. Haha :)

  14. Sarah Cole says:

    do these sentences work?

    오늘은, 나는 안 먹 싶을 거예요
    Today, I wouldn’t want to eat.

    서울에 어떻게 날씨 있어요 지금?
    In Seoul, how’s the weather right now?
    감사합니다!

    • jinseokjin says:

      나는 안 먹 싶을 거예요 > (저는) 안 먹고 싶을 거예요.

      서울에 어떻게 날씨 있어요 지금? > 서울 지금 날씨는 어때요?

      Thanks for your comment. :)

  15. Kim says:

    I showed this to my Korean friend today and she said 거예요 is wrong, and it should be 거 에요, but I just looked in a Korean book I have, and the book says it’s 거예요 as well. Did she just make a mistake?

  16. NIta says:

    안녕하세요 선생님

    -. 내일 에 선생님 하고 삼겹살을 먹을 고예요
    -. 달은 밤하늘에서 볼 고예요

    Please correct my sentences
    깜사합니다 선생님

    • jinseokjin says:

      내일 에 선생님 하고 삼겹살을 먹을 고예요
      > 내일은 선생님하고 삼겹살을 먹을 거예요.

      달은 밤하늘에서 볼 고예요
      > 밤하늘의 달을 볼 거예요.

      Thansk for your comment. As you may know, I also have “HaruKorean.com” which correct your Korean sentences well.

      I hope you to try it! It will be helpful. :)
