Why is there no subject in the sentence “가게에서 커피를 주문해요”?
In Korean, it’s common to omit the subject when it’s clear from context. Here, the speaker (“I” or “we”) is implied, so you don’t need to say 저는 or 우리는.
What is the function of 에서 in 가게에서? How is it different from 에?
에서 marks the place where an action happens (“at the store”).
- 에 can mark location of existence (“in/at”) or direction.
- 에서 specifically indicates the location of an ongoing action.

를 is the object particle. It shows that 커피 is the direct object of the verb 주문해요 (to order).
