안녕하세요! Welcome back to another exciting lesson at TalkToMeInKorean.com! Today in this lesson we are going to look at how to ‘link’ two or more verbs together in one sentences. There are many different ways of doing this, but we are going to start from the most commonly used form, which is -고 (-go). Listen in to find out more!
Thank you for studying with us and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask us anytime!
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.
If I want to say “yesterday I met a friend, studied, & read this book.” would I say
“어제 친구를 만나고 공부하고 이책 읽 했어요.”
Is that right?
I don’t think so. How abt
어제 친구를 만나고, 공부하고, 이책 읽었어요. ?

oSo how about I would like to say ” I am chenda, I’m 20 years and I can speak Korean a little bit”. Sorry to ask like that but frankly I just started learning Korean.
“어제 영화를 볼고, 커피 마셨어요” am i correct?
어제 영화를 볼고, 커피 마셨어요
> 어제 영화를 보고, 커피를 마셨어요.
thanks.
어제 일하고, 수영하고, 바이올린 연주했어요. 너무 바빠요 . 선생님 잘 했어요. ^_^
“Yesterday I went to the office and learned Korean.”
어제 회사에 가고 한국어를 공부했습니다.
안녕하세요
어제 내 오빠가 생일이 있고, 영화를 부구. 햄버거 먹고, 케이크 먹고, 재미있었어요
Grammatically your sentence is okay, except spelling of 보고 and 내 오빠 (우리 used with family), but I think in Korean when you talk about days, you just say what day it is. So “yesterday my brother had birthday” doesn’t literally work.
You just say “yesterday was our brother’s birthday”.
어제(는/가) 우리 오빠 생일이었고 (past of 이다 not 있다).
Though it’s probably better to say something like 생일이었는데 – structure that you can see in lesson 21.
But this is as far as I know
Just never saw expression like “생일이 있어요” before I think.
어제 친구 만나고 엄마랑 저녁 먹었어요
Can -고 be used to link imperatives, as in “please go to the bookstore and buy me a dictionary”, as in, “서점에 가고 사전을 사 주세요”?
In that case, it will be more natural to say “서점에 가서 사전을 사 주세요”.
If I wanted to describe my day yesterday, could I say “어제 일하고, 한극어를 공브하고, 잤어요?”
Hi Richard,
어제 일하고, 한극어를 공브하고, 잤어요
한극어 > 한국어
공브>공부
>> 어제 일하고, 한국어를 공부하고 잤어요.
Thanks for your comment.
어제 학교에 가고 한국어를 공부하고 진구를 마났었어요
진구를 마났었어요
> 친구를 만났어요
가고 > 갔고
