In this lesson, we are going to learn about a grammatical structure that will come in handy when you want to expand your sentences and make longer and more accurate phrases in Korean. In Korean when you link phrases with other phrases, you often make one phrase into a noun form and have it included in a bigger phrase. In order to do that, we are going to look at how to make verbs into nouns in this lesson. Listen in and pay close attention to what 현우 and 경은 introduce, and be sure to give it a try and make your own sample sentences! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
You can download a free PDF for this lesson here, or if you want to study with our TalkToMeInKorean textbooks, you can get them here. And after you learn the basics, try writing your own Korean sentences and get corrections from native speakers through HaruKorean, our 1:1 correction service.

Hi April,
Regarding your second sentence, i think
저는 한극어는 공부하는 거를 좋아요 makes more sense haha, but i’m not entirely affirmative on that so can the teachers help on this please?
저는 한극어는 공부하는 거를 좋아요
> 저는 한국어를 공부하는 것을 좋아해요.
i think it should be지금 공부 하는 거 여요. if not this sentece is correct pls re-corecct

>>Why is the 것 not needed here already?
The drive was very tiring.
> 그 운전사는 매우 피곤했어요.
>>Why is 사 added after 운전?
thank you very much!
지금 저는 먹는것 or 지금 저는 먹는거 please help me teacher I don’t know which one is right considering I already listened to the lesson
Hi David,
As the both sentence don’t have verbs, it is hard to say that they are complete sentences.
지금 저는 먹는것 > 지금 제가 먹는 것
지금 저는 먹는거 > 지금 제가 먹는 거
You need to add verbs like “지금 먹는 것은 초콜렛이에요”, or “지금 먹는 거는 초콜렛이에요”.
뭐 만들어요?
지금 만들은 거는 책상이에요.
그거 뭘 해요?
뭐 만들어요?
만들는 거는 책상이에요.
does this make sense?
지금학교에가는것요?
are you going to go to school now?
thank you for your lessons ! Very helpful (:
