Questions & Answers about hotel suyeongjange sugeoneul junbihae nohasseoyo.

Why is 에 used after 호텔 수영장 instead of 에서 or 에게?

The particle 에 marks a static location where something exists or is placed – here, the towels are at the hotel pool.

• 에서 would emphasize the place where you performed the action (“I prepared them at the pool”), but then you lose the nuance of “they’re now sitting there waiting.”
• 에게 is for marking an indirect object (a person), so it doesn’t fit with locations.

What role does 수건을 play, and why use 을?

수건을 is the direct object of the verb 준비하다 (“to prepare”), so it gets the object particle 을. You’re preparing something (the towels), hence 을.

What does the grammar pattern -아/어 놓다 do in 준비해 놓았어요?

The structure (verb stem + -아/어) 놓다 means “to do an action and leave the result in that state.”

• 준비해 놓았어요 = “I prepared (and left) them,” implying the towels are ready and waiting now.

Why not just say 준비했어요?

You can say 준비했어요 (“I prepared them”), but it only reports the action.
Adding 놓았어요 stresses that it’s done in advance and the result still holds.
