Level 4 Lesson 27 / I think … (+ future tense) / -(으)ㄴ/(으)ㄹ/ㄴ 것 같다, 한 것 같다, 할 것 같다
안녕하세요! In our previous lessons, we have learned how to make noun groups in various tenses. In this lesson, we are going to look at how to say “I think” or “it looks like” in Korean using those noun groups, including the future tense. We talked about this in Level 3 Lesson 9 regarding the present tense, so if you want to go review, please click here.
Be sure to check the PDF for the correct spelling of the expressions and if you have any questions, please feel free to leave us comments!

I’m confused. I thought this lesson was done already?
Yes, we have, in Level 3 Lesson 9. But we wanted to touch up on it once again as a review and also especially now that we have covered most of the noun groups using verbs. We also added some explanation about the future tense too. :)
your really good in teaching korean! how about you did you have hardtime learning english?
여러분, how can be translated – 같은 사람
it is a little 어려워요…
i’d say something like “the same person” but it would be better with the whole sentence… if you have it….
Yeah, I agree with HCG. I think you can translated it as the same person.
Sample sentence #3 is in the past tense form, but the English translation dosen’t seem to be?? Is it right?
Thank u for giving us another great lesson !
By the way, how to express ” unless ” in korean ? For exp : ” I can’t leave my office unless I can finish my work in time. ”
선생님들이 가르쳐주시면 좋겠어요. ^_^
감사합니다!!!
Hm, I’d like to know how to say that too. But you can express a similar meaning using what we have already learned through TTMIK. You could use “VERB + 지 않으면…” So, your example might be something like:
시간에 맞게 일을 끝내지 않으면, 사무실을 나갈 수 없어요.
If I don’t finish my work on time, I can’t leave the office.
The nuance is a little different but the meaning is still the same, I think.
여러분, 선생님들 좀 도와주세요.^^
Thanks Archana. Your explanation is great!!!
Yeah, it is translated as (만약) ~~지 않으면.
I can’t leave my office unless I can finish my work in time.
>제 시간에 일을 마치지 못하면 사무실을 나갈 수 없어요.
Other examples,
(만약) 수영복을 입지 않으면, 수영장에 갈 수 없어요.
밥을 먹지 않으면, 그녀는 화가 날 거예요.
밥을 먹지 않으면, 그녀는 화가 날 거예요 라는 진짜 웃긴 문장인 거죠~~ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
밥을 먹지 않으면, 그녀는 화가 날 거예요 라는 진짜 웃긴 문장이죠~~~ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Archana 씨, 석진 씨, 완 씨가 가르쳐주셔서 감사합니다. ^^
So many ways to say different things. This lesson was very dense.
Thanks TTMIK
You’re welcome! Thanks for enjoying our lessons!
Hello!! Thanks for the great lesson as always!!!!
I was wondering if what was explained in this lesson applies also to descriptive verbs because as I remember in the present tense they get only the (ᅳ )ᄂ ending, which is the ending used for the past tense of the nondescriptive verbs. So how do we know in the following sentence, what tense is used?
예쁜 것 같아요. I think she is beautiful or I think she was beautiful?
Hi Daniela, I just got to this lesson and was wondering the same thing. Esp since one of the examples given was 이게 더 좋은 것 같아요.
If I’m not wrong, descriptive nouns will always follow the -(ㅇ)ㄴ rule, since they don’t have tenses. It is the action that can be in the past/present/future tense.
I think she is beautiful. 예쁘은 것 같아요.
I thought she is beautiful. 예쁘은 것 같았어요.
In English, we would say ‘I thought she was beautiful’ because we’re used to reconciling tenses within a sentence. But the sentence really means ‘there was a time in the past that i thought to myself: she is beautiful’.
Hope I’m not confusing you!
Ok i understand more, that we see before!!!
thanks!!

감사합니다. :)

Thanks for your comment. You are getting better and better.
How do you say: “I think so”? and “I hope so”?
Concerning “I thinkg so”, I can say “저도 그렇게 생각해요”, and for “I hope so”, I can say “저도 그러길 바래요”.
Thanks for your comment.

hey everyone
can anyone help correct my sentence?
과거에 그여자 예쁜것 같아요.그런테 지금은 없어요.
In the past,that woman was pretty.However,she is not now.
(I’m quite confused.Since there is no past tense for descriptive verbs then i just attach the ‘in the past’ to describe the woman being pretty in the past?or are there other ways?)
성형수술를한다음에 ,그여자가 예쁠것 같아요.
After doing plastic surgery,I think she will be pretty.
