Level 5 Lesson 11 - Sentence Building Drill 3

This is the second lesson in the series “Sentence Building Drill”. In this series, we focus on how you can use the grammatical rules and expressions that you have learned so far to train yourself to make more Korean sentences more comfortably and more flexibly.

We will start off with THREE key sentences, and practice changing parts of these sentences so that you don’t end up just memorizing the same three sentences. We want you to be able to be as flexible as possible with the Korean sentences you can make.

Key sentence #1
이 중에서 아무거나 골라도 돼요?
[i jung-e-seo a-mu-geo-na gol-la-do dwae-yo?]
= Among these, can I pick just any one?

Key sentence #2
어제 너무 피곤해서 집에 가자마자 아무것도 못 하고 바로 잠들었어요.
[eo-je neo-mu pi-go-nae-seo ji-be ga-ja-ma-ja a-mu-geot-do mot ha-go ba-ro jam-deu-reo-sseo-yo.]
= Yesterday I was so tired so as soon as I got home, I couldn’t do anything and just fell asleep right away.

Key sentence #3
날씨가 더워서 사람들이 별로 안 온 것 같아요.
[nal-ssi-ga deo-wo-seo sa-ram-deu-ri byeol-lo an on geot ga-ta-yo.]
= I think not so many people came because the weather is hot.
