What grammatical function does -를 serve in 숙제를 다시 확인해요?
-를 is the direct object particle. It marks 숙제 (homework) as the thing being checked.
Why is 다시 placed before 확인해요?
다시 is an adverb meaning “again.” In Korean, adverbs usually appear directly before the verb they modify. So 다시 확인해요 means “check again.”

- Drop -다 ⇒ 확인하-
- Change -하- to 해-
- Add -요 ⇒ 확인해요
