Questions & Answers about hakgyoeseo dayanghan hwaldongeul haeyo.

What function does the particle -에서 serve in 학교에서, and how is it different from -에?

-에서 marks the place where an action happens – “at” or “in” a location. Here, 학교에서 means “at school.”

  • -에 can mean “to” (direction) or “in/at” (existence), but does NOT emphasize the site of an action.
  • Use -에서 whenever you describe doing something at a place.
What does 다양한 mean, and why does it come before 활동?

다양한 is an adjective meaning “various” or “a variety of.” In Korean, adjectives always precede the noun they modify.

  • 다양한 활동 = “various activities”
Why isn’t there a plural marker on 활동 (should it be 활동들)?

Korean often omits 들 when plurality is clear from context or modifiers like 다양한. Adding 들 is possible but can sound redundant:

  • 자연스러운 표현: 다양한 활동
  • 어색할 수 있는 표현: 다양한 활동들
Why is the particle -을 used in 활동을, and can I omit it?

-을 is the object marker, showing that 활동 (“activity”) is what you’re doing with 해요 (“do”).

  • With marker (clear, standard): 활동을 해요
  • Without marker (very casual, less precise): 활동 해요
What is 해요, and why do we attach 하다 to 활동?

해요 is the polite present-tense form of 하다 (“to do”). Sino-Korean nouns like 활동 pair with 하다 to become verbs:

  • 활동하다 = “to carry out an activity”
  • Conjugated politely: 활동해요 = “(I) do activities”
Why is there no subject like “I” or “we” in the sentence?
Korean often omits the subject when it’s obvious from context. Here, it’s understood that “I” or “we” do the activities, so you don’t need 저는 or 우리는 unless you want to emphasize the subject.
How would I change this sentence to past or future tense?

• Past tense: replace 해요 with 했어요
– 학교에서 다양한 활동을 했어요. (“did various activities at school”)
• Future tense: use 할 거예요
– 학교에서 다양한 활동을 할 거예요. (“will do various activities at school”)
