Questions & Answers about Gusto kong kumain ng masarap na panghimagas pagkatapos ng hapunan.

Why do we say Gusto kong kumain instead of just Gusto ko kumain?

In Filipino, Gusto ko (I want) is followed by the linking particle -ng when you add a verb like kumain (to eat). This creates Gusto kong kumain, making it sound natural and grammatically correct. If you leave out -ng, it sounds incomplete or awkward to native speakers.

Why do we add na between masarap and panghimagas?

In Filipino, adjectives ending in a consonant (like masarap) often use na to link them to the noun (panghimagas). That’s why we say masarap na panghimagas. If the adjective ended in a vowel, we would typically use -ng as the linker instead.

Why do we say pagkatapos ng hapunan instead of pagkatapos hapunan?

The word pagkatapos (after) is usually followed by the particle ng before the noun that specifies what event or timing you’re referencing. Thus, pagkatapos ng hapunan (after dinner) is the standard phrasing, indicating dinner is the event you do something after.
