-을/를 is the object marker in Korean. It marks the thing being directly acted on.

• 대본을 읽고 = reading the script
• The verb 읽다 takes a direct object, so 대본 gets -을

Because 대본 ends in a consonant, it takes -을 rather than -를.

Here, -고 connects two actions:

• 대본을 읽고
• 배역의 동작을 연습했어

So the sentence means something like:

• I read the script and practiced the role’s movements/actions
• or After reading the script, I practiced the role’s movements/actions

In this kind of sentence, -고 often simply links actions in sequence. It does not strongly emphasize cause; it mainly means and or and then.

Yes. In a sentence like this, native speakers usually understand the actions as happening in sequence:

1. read the script
2. practiced the movements/actions of the role

So 읽고 naturally suggests read it, then practiced.

However, -고 itself is a broad connector, so the exact relationship comes from context. In this sentence, sequential action is the most natural reading.

의 shows possession or association, similar to of or ’s in English.

• 배역의 동작 = the role’s movements/actions

This makes the relationship explicit: the movements belong to or are associated with that role/character.

Korean sometimes drops 의 in certain noun combinations, especially in casual or fixed expressions, but here 배역의 동작 sounds clear and natural.

배역 means a role, especially in acting, theater, film, or performance.

It refers to the part assigned to an actor. So in this sentence, it is not just any general role in life; it is specifically a performance role.

That is why 배역의 동작 refers to the physical actions or movements connected with that character/role.

동작 usually means movement, motion, or a physical action, especially something visible in the body.

So in an acting context:

• 동작 = gestures, movements, physical actions on stage or in performance

By contrast, 행동 is broader and often means behavior or actions in a general sense.

So:

• 배역의 동작 sounds like the character’s movements/gestures
• 배역의 행동 would sound more like the character’s behavior/actions

In this sentence, 동작 is a very natural choice because actors often practice physical movement.

Because 동작 is the direct object of 연습했어.

The second part is:

• 배역의 동작을 연습했어 = practiced the role’s movements

The verb 연습하다 commonly takes an object:

• 발음을 연습하다 = practice pronunciation
• 대사를 연습하다 = practice lines
• 동작을 연습하다 = practice movements

Since 동작 ends in a consonant, it takes -을.

This is about speech level.

• 연습했어 = casual/informal
• 연습했어요 = polite
• 연습했다 = plain written/narrative style

So 연습했어 would be used with:

• close friends
• younger people
• casual conversation
• diary-style personal speech

The sentence is in the informal past form.

In Korean, when verbs are connected with -고, usually only the final verb carries the main tense marking.

So:

• 대본을 읽고 배역의 동작을 연습했어

is the normal way to say:

• I read the script and practiced the role’s movements

The first verb 읽고 stays in the connective form, and the final verb 연습했어 shows the overall tense of the sentence.

You can sometimes see past tense before -고 in other contexts, but in simple sequential sentences, Korean usually leaves the earlier verb in the basic connective form.

Yes, the subject is omitted, which is very common in Korean.

The sentence does not explicitly say:

• I
• he/she
• we

But in many real Korean sentences, the subject is understood from context. Because the verb ending is 연습했어, this often sounds like someone casually saying I practiced..., but technically the subject could be another person if the context makes that clear.

Korean often leaves out information that is already understood.

Yes, but the meaning would shift slightly.

• 대본 = the whole script
• 대사 = lines/dialogue

So:

• 대본을 읽고 = read the script
• 대사를 읽고 = read the lines

If the speaker wants to emphasize reviewing the entire script, 대본 is right. If they mean practicing or checking spoken lines specifically, 대사 might be better.

Yes, in terms of structure, 연습하다 is a 하다 verb:

• 연습 = practice
• 연습하다 = to practice

In the past tense:

• 연습했다 = practiced
• 연습했어 = practiced, in casual speech

So literally it is built like practice + do, but in natural English you should simply think of it as to practice.

The basic order here is:

• object + verb + object + verb

More specifically:

• 대본을 = object of 읽고
• 읽고 = connective verb
• 배역의 동작을 = object of 연습했어
• 연습했어 = final verb

Korean word order is more flexible than English, but the verb usually comes at the end of its clause. So this sentence is very natural as written.

You could move some parts around for emphasis, but the given order is straightforward and standard.
