Questions & Answers about chaseoneul hwaginhago pyeonghaeng juchareul yeonseuphapnida.
What does 차선을 break down into?
차선을 = 차선 + 을
- 차선 means lane or traffic lane
- 을 is the object particle
So 차선을 확인하고 literally means check the lane or check the traffic lane markings/lane position.
Because 차선 ends in a consonant, it takes 을 rather than 를.
Why is 확인하고 used here?
확인하고 comes from the verb 확인하다, which means to check or to confirm.
The -고 ending connects one action to the next. In this sentence, it means something like:
- check the lane and practice parallel parking
- after checking the lane, practice parallel parking
So 확인하고 is the connector form of 확인하다.
A very natural way to understand it is:
- Action 1: check the lane
- Action 2: practice parallel parking
What exactly does -고 mean in this sentence?
