Sentence structure

Key sentences split into meaning units, showing the role of each part.

나는 책 읽는 것을 아주 좋아해요.
Subject나는"I" (na-neun, topic)
Clause책 읽는 것을verb + "-(neu)n geot" = nominalized "reading," + object "-eul"
Modifier아주adverb "very"
Predicate좋아해요verb "like"

Adding "-(neu)n geot" to a verb turns it into a noun: "ingneun geot" means "the act of reading." Inside it, "chaek" (book) is the object of reading. The whole nominalized phrase then takes the object marker "-eul" as the thing that is liked. The adverb "aju" (very) precedes the verb "joahaeyo" (like).

저녁에는 집에서 가족과 같이 밥을 먹었어요.
Modifier저녁에는time "-e" + topic (in the evening)
Modifier집에서place of action "-eseo" (at home)
Modifier가족과with family, comitative "-gwa"
Modifier같이adverb "together"
Object밥을"rice/meal" + object "-eul"
Predicate먹었어요past tense "ate" ("-eot-")

The place where an action happens is marked by "-eseo" (jip-eseo, at home), not "-e." Companion is "-gwa" (gajok-gwa, with family), and the object is "-eul" (bap-eul). Past tense is shown by the infix "-eot-/-at-" inside the verb: "meokda" (eat) becomes "meogeosseoyo" (ate).
