Questions & Answers about naeil hoesa-e keopireul gajyeool geoyeyo.

How does -을 거예요 express the future tense in this sentence?

-을 거예요 attaches to a verb stem to indicate that the action will happen in the future or that you plan/intend to do it. Here, 가져오 (the stem of 가져오다) + ㄹ 거예요 = 가져올 거예요, meaning “(I) will bring.”

When do you add -ㄹ versus -을 before 거예요?

It depends on the final sound of the verb stem:

• If the stem ends in a vowel (가져오-), you add -ㄹ → 가져올.
• If it ends in a consonant (먹-, 쓰-), you add -을 → 먹을 거예요, 쓸 거예요.

Why is 가져오다 (“to bring”) used here instead of 가져가다 (“to take”)?

It’s all about perspective:

• 가져오다 means “to bring [something toward the speaker or listener’s location].”
• 가져가다 means “to take [something away from the speaker or listener’s location].”
  Since you’re talking about bringing coffee to the company (where you or your coworkers will be), you use 가져오다.

Why is the particle 에 used after 회사 rather than 에서?

• 회사에 marks the destination of motion (where you’re bringing the coffee).
