Questions & Answers about uri timeun pyegimureul sugeohaessseupnida.
What is the basic breakdown of 우리 팀은 폐기물을 수거했습니다?
A natural breakdown is:
- 우리 = our / we
- 팀은 = team + 은 topic marker
- 폐기물을 = waste + 을 object marker
- 수거했습니다 = collected / carried out collection
So the sentence structure is:
- 우리 팀은 = as for our team,
- 폐기물을 = waste
- 수거했습니다 = collected
Korean usually puts the verb at the end, so the word order is different from English. A very literal version would be:
- As for our team, waste collected.
But in natural English, it becomes:
- Our team collected waste.
