Questions & Answers about jeoneun taeksireul unjeonhaeyo.

What is the function of 는 in 저는?

The particle 는 is the topic marker. By attaching it to 저 (I), 저는 means “as for me.” It sets I as the topic of the sentence.

Can I use 제가 instead of 저는, and how is it different?

제가 uses the subject marker 가 instead of the topic marker 는. Use 제가 when you want to emphasize I as the doer of the action or when introducing new information. 저는 is more neutral and marks the overall topic.

Why is 택시 followed by 를 in 택시를?

를 is the object marker. In 택시를 운전해요, 택시 is what you’re driving, so it takes 를 to show it’s the direct object.

The base form is 운전하다 (“to drive”). To make it polite informal (called the 해요 form), you:
