Level 5 lesson 9 / While I was doing …, … and then … / -다가, 하다가

Are you a person who can multitask effectively? If you are that kind of person you should study this grammar lesson. :D In this lesson, we look at how to use this verb ending -다가 [-da-ga]. This is very commonly used in Korean when you talk about gradual transition from one action to another or one situation to another. Don’t forget to leave us a comment!

    Why are sample sentences are all in past tense? Can I say in present tense like “작은 내 동생을 기다리다가 내가 잘 수가 있어”? 절 도와주기 덕분에 감사합니다.

    Thanks for this lesson. I have seen this “다가” structure quite a bit, and have been wondering what it means. :)
