Sentence By Sentence Breakdown❗️
💥방금 탄 놀이 기구 너무 재미있지 않아요?
어머, 그런데 괜찮아요?
(으)ㄴ/는 = used with 'action verb' - an INDICATION of past tense / an action that is completed.
Since ~ㄴ is used here, it indicates past tense. 은/는 indicate present tense or an ongoing action. ㄹ indicates future tense but isn't used as often with this grammar.
탄 놀이 기구 = the rides (you) rode
~지 않아요?
Used in this context it is translated as "Isn't it?" or "Wasn't it?"
💥정말 괜찮아요? 얼굴이 하얗게 질렸어요.
~게 = turns adjectives into adverbs; to the extent, in a manner that is (sometimes adds an -ly)
(this isn't a great example of this grammar, so i'd suggest looking at other sources for more info)
하얗게 - In a manner that is pale. to an extent that is pale
얼굴이 하얗게 질리다 = one's face turns or becomes pale
💥아니, 나 지금 토할 것 같아. 이렇게 무서운 놀이 기구는 태어나서 처음 타 봤어.
ㄹ 것 같다 = It seems like, to feel like, one thinks that (like I said earlier ㄹ indicates that this is future tense)
~ㄴ can also be used with adjectives
무서운 놀이 기구 = scary rides
✨Examples:✨
큰 나무 - tall trees
예쁜 머리 - pretty hair
'태어나서 처음..' > this is a phrase in korean meaning 'for the first time in my life"
아/어보다 = talking about past experiences
✨Example:✨
‘저는 이 노래를 들어 봤어요.’ I have listened to this song.
타다 + 아/어보다 = 타 봤어요 = I rode (before)
💥놀이 기구 타는 거 싫어해요?
는 것 = 는 거 > turns verbs into nouns
(adds -ING)
타는 것 = riding
💥응, 사실은 무섭고 어지러워서 놀이 기구 타는 거 싫어해.
아/어/해서 = so, since
무섭고 어지러워서.. = since/because I get scared and dizzy

using 고 to join things together - extra tip for tenses
고 is added onto a verb stem when joining one clause to another. It’s very common and simple to use in ways such as:
여자가 귀엽고 아주 예뻐요 - the girl is cute and quite pretty (attached to a descriptive verb)
저는 먹고 갈 거예요 - I’ll eat and then I’ll go (attached to an action verb and shows chronological order)
The tense in such sentences is indicated by the conjugation of the last verb - as shown in the second example, the 먹 part doesn’t have a specific tense, but 갈 거예요 at the very end is future, therefore the whole sentence is understood as future.
There is a case where the tense can be put onto the first verb as well - when the 2 actions were done far apart in time. Using 고 as above with no tense on the 1st verb indicates that you’re doing the actions right after one another or in the same time frame. However, if you want to join two things that were done far apart in time, you can add the past tense conjugation to the 1st verb e.g.:
열심히 공부했고 의사가 되었어요 - I studied hard and then (much later on, not immediately) became a doctor

안녕하세요 Dreamling 들! Hello Dreamlings! An action verb is anything someone or something does. For example, to eat, to see, and to drink. In this lesson you’ll learn about what a verb is – specifically action verbs – and how to use them.
일어나다 to wake up
샤워하다 to shower
양치하다 to brush teeth
화장하다 to put on makeup
가다 to go
일하다 to work
공부하다 to study
놀다 to play
쇼핑하다 to shop
운동하다 to exercise
요리하다 to cook
마시다 to drink
먹다 to eat
보다 to see
자다 to sleep
청소하다 to clean
생각하다 to think
걱정하다 to worry
Now, we can form simple sentences. Remember that Korean sentences follow the structure SUBJECT, OBJECT, VERB. Here’s an example: “저는 케이크를 먹어요.” I eat cake.
Sometimes, a noun can be separated from the verb and be used by itself. For example, 공부 from 공부하다 can just mean study while 걱정 from 걱정하다 can just mean worry/worries. This way, you can say “you have many worries” instead of “you are worrying”. Therefore, 걱정하다 can also be written as 걱정를 하다 as 걱정 is a noun itself.
I hope you enjoyed this lesson! See you in the next one! 다음에 또 봐요!
