hello!
how do you say “It cant be/is impossible that only I do not know of this thing” using -(으)ㄹ 리가 없어요, 할 리가 없어요 and Noun + 밖에 + negative conjugation thought in level 3 lesson 18?
help please! X\
Maybe: 저 밖에 모를 리가 없어요.
But I think it’s better to say 저만 모를 리가 없어요. Because in the pdf it says “And when the verb itself has a negative meaning, -만 is more commonly used than 밖에”
Since 알다 negative is 모르다 it falls into that category.
wow thanks hey just another question..whats the difference between 있 and 이?
my guess is when u need to change 이 into say an adjective by adding ㄴ u use this form.if not u use the 있 form?
thanks!
oh i just realised..its past tense isnt it? -.-||
How about this… If I wanna express:
“I wonder if it’s possible…?”: 할 리가 있을까요? Lit. “doing this have logic, how about?”
“I wonder if it’s impossible…?”: 할 리가 없을까요?
or with 그렇다: 그럴 리가 있을까요? “I wonder if it’s possible like that?”
Also I saw something similar in previous comments:
This should be impossible: 있을 리가 없어야 돼요.
Should be impossible like this: 그럴 리가 없어야 돼요.
This for example, should be possible to do: 근데, 이게 예를 들어서, 할 리가 있어야 돼요.
한국어 공부를 할수록, 할 리가 없는 것 깨달아요 – More I study Korean, more I realize that it’s impossible to do. – Just kidding, but I wonder if the sentence structure correct.
자는 할 리가 없는 것이 없어요. As for me, things that impossible to do, do not exist. ;)

안녕하세요 선생님들.
I made a little story
-어머니, 안 공부하고 싶어요.
-왜? 내일은 시험이 있을 거에요. 안 공부할 리가 없어요. 열심히 공부해.
-예. 어머니.
-어머니, 시험이 잘 할 수 있었어요.
-축하해. 그럼 좀 쉬어.
i hope it will be correct.
