LEARN KOREAN (한국어) [GRAMMAR] #1

KOREAN VERBS

You learned the basic verb sentence structure. Let's look at this again. If you want to say "I eat food" you should know how to use the particles 는/은 and 를/을.

저는 음식을 먹다 - I eat food

Let's look at some examples:
나는 케이크를 만들다 - I make a cake
나는 배를 원하다 - I want a boat
나는 한국어를 말하다 - I speak Korean

Remember that sentences with verbs don't necessarily need to have an object in them if the context allows for it.

나는 이해하다 - I understand

Some verbs by default cannot act on an object. Words like: sleep, go, die, etc. You cannot say something like "I slept home", or "I went restaurant", or "I died her." You can use nouns in sentences with those verbs, but only with the use of other particles – some of which you have learned already (에). With the use of other particles you can say things like:

I slept at home
I went to the restaurant
I died with her
