Questions & Answers about baendeuga gasareul bakkugo noraereul yeonjuhaesseo.
What are the main parts of 밴드가 가사를 바꾸고 노래를 연주했어?
A simple breakdown is:
- 밴드가 = the band / a band
- 가사를 = lyrics
- object marker 를
- 바꾸고 = change
- -고, which links to the next action
- 노래를 = song
- object marker 를
- 연주했어 = played / performed in casual past tense
The dictionary forms of the verbs are:
- 바꾸다 = to change
- 연주하다 = to play/perform music
What do 가 and 를 do here?
They are particles that show each noun’s role in the sentence.
- 가 in 밴드가 marks the subject
- 를 in 가사를, 노래를 marks the direct object
So:
- 밴드가 = the band is the one doing the action
- 가사를 = the lyrics are what gets changed
- 노래를 = the song is what gets performed
English mostly uses word order to show this, but Korean uses particles very heavily.
Why is it 바꾸고? What does -고 mean?
